Oldham Town Centre

We need YOU to help make this incredible Illuminated Carnival piece. Now is your chance to add your own stamp and join us at Oldham Illuminate!

No previous experience necessary for the dance section, but performers will be required to attend the rehearsal on 11th February 7-9pm at The Vale, Micklehurst Road, Mossley, OL59JL in the Theatre space.

Join our cast of Everyday People and heroes amongst an illuminated Oldham landscape as we join forces to Illuminate the Everyday as part of Oldham Illuminate 2025.

Everyday People: A celebration of our Oldham community. What do we each carry as individuals, each holding rich heritages, histories and experiences? Through sharing and exchange with openness, honesty, sensitivity and respect. How have our everyday exchanges shaped our communities and lives as we have forged new connections? What happens when we come together as one, and when we’re open to exchanges and new ideas.

Everyday Heroes: A celebration of those who help to make our Oldham incredible. A cast of costumed performers representing firefighters, supermarket checkout staff, teachers, baristas, police force and more will lead the processional piece.

Everyday Places: Because there’s no place like home. Be it our places of worship and community gathering, the standing shells of the bills that once drove our town, family houses and more, a beautiful landscape of Oldham will be created with lanterns, all brightly illuminated with LEDs and brought to life with projection technology.
