Located in the very heart of Oldham, the Coliseum Theatre is venerable building with a history stretching back to 1885.We serve a vibrant cross section of the community with an award winning selection of comedy, drama & traditional panto. The history of Oldham Coliseum Theatre spans a period of 128 years making it one of the oldest theatres in Britain still operating today. The theatre is also widely considered as the true home of traditional pantomime and produces a new production each year attracting delighted audiences of over 35,000. The Coliseum Theatre dates back to 1885 when it began life as the Grand American Circus and Hippodrome. Situated in the heart of Oldham and surrounded by almost a dozen other theatres, almost 125 years later, the award winning Coliseum is the only surviving theatre in the town. The Coliseum stage has seen countless performers over the years from comedy greats Charlie Chaplin and Stan Laurel to fledgling movie stars such as Ralph Fiennes and Minnie Driver. Many of the stars of Manchester staple Coronation Street have also cut their teeth treading the boards at the Coliseum. Oldham Coliseum Theatre is one of the most established and well attended venues in the North West where it produces eight in-house shows each year. It is also operates as a receiving house for touring productions, visiting companies and special one-night events. The Coliseum as we know it today has recently undergone a £1.5M facelift and renovation with improved seating, heating and front of house facilities bringing the venue up-to-date with modern theatre-goers' demands. The auditorium has a capacity of 524 seats, in addition the theatre has a studio space with a more intimate capacity of 50 seats. The inhouse and touring productions seen on the main stage each year offer a balanced programme of drama, comedy, musical, new writing and the annual pantomime.

Odeon Oldham

Reviewed By harryzac - Oldham, United Kingdom

This cinema is really good. Oldham needs it. The staff are great and really friendly and helpful. Why do you go to the cinema? To see a film obviously. Then why, oh why, do complete idiots turn up and decide their miserable lives are much more important than the film everyone else is trying to watch. Wednesday evening; The Joker. Two people arrived late, talked loudly to each other continually. We’re sssh’d...no effect. One person stood up and told them to be quiet....no effect. One lady went out to get a member of staff... no effect. Then it all kicked off and I got management. They were eventually ejected shouting at us (the people who wanted to watch a film) that they were sure we all had miserable, boring relationships. Apparently they wanted a refund for their tickets on their way out. Whoever you are, if you want to be a source of entertainment, train and be an actor or do it at home please and get on with your boring, miserable relationship in the discomfort of your own surroundings. Bravo to the staff for ejecting them and may you never succumb to bullies.

Saddleworth Museum & Art Gallery

Reviewed By AlisonT327 - Maldon, United Kingdom

A really interesting museum covering all local issues from archaeology to industry to education and culture, Some excellent interactive displays for children of all ages plus bookable activities for children such as weaving, butter pat making etc. The Education Advisor is to be congratulated. Sheer excellence! Some amusing and interesting retro displays for adults too. Lovely helpful staff and good facilities for visitors with limited mobility. I visited in May and then came again with friends in July.
