 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 andrefreshments.

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 Lisa Mallaghan, Executive Director of Bradford Producing Hub

Lisa Mallaghan is Executive Director of Bradford Producing Hub (BPH), a charity and arts development organisation on a mission to create a fairer, more representative arts ecology in Bradford. Lisa founded BPH in 2019, having spent 14 years working at Mind the Gap – England’s largest learning disability and autism theatre company – in various roles, including Senior Producer. Lisa is often invited to speak on panels and at conferences, sharing her experience in dismantling systemic barriers to the arts and creative careers, and her deep passion for ensuring that Bradford’s arts sector thrives by being truly representative of our people. Outside of work, Lisa is a singer in a number of bands and a proud mum of 3 kids and many plants!

“BPH brings together my two passions – creating brilliant art and helping brilliant artists develop. It’s a joy to help people realise their potential in their careers and in the work they make, and to embed culture in the regeneration of Bradford.”

Presented as part of Oldham Coliseum’s Artist Development Programme, supporting creative people and building meaningful connections across Oldham.
