Culture & Chips with Cheryl Martin (1)

Description

Join us for an informal gathering of Oldham’s creative movers and shakers. An opportunity for people to connect together - to discuss art and culture in Oldham over chips and refreshments.

Open to everyone, whether you currently engage with the Coliseum or not, Culture & Chips is a space to discuss your creative practice, meet people making work here and join the dots with what’s happening in Oldham’s creative scene.

Our next Culture & Chips will be joined by Cheryl Martin, Artistic Director of Red Ladder Theatre Company.
