Theatre and Special Events in Tameside

Family Theatre Programme

We aim to provide a balanced and professional family arts and theatre programme. We generally use our galleries, libraries and community spaces to host our theatre programme.

We also want to make the performances as relaxed as possible; however, some of the shows may contain flashing lights and/or loud noises. We are working to increase the spaces we use, however some may not have the best access depending upon the venue.

We will include venue and show accessibility information with all of our performances. We are happy to discuss any specific needs, the accessibility of our performances and any adjustments that may be required.

Theatre in the Parks Programme

Our outdoor summer theatre series traditionally runs in a variety of urban parks across the borough. These parks generally have excellent access and facilities. We try to ensure these events are only held in parks with accessible welfare facilities. Our contact number is on all of our promotional material and our staff are happy to discuss any specific needs, the accessibility of our performances and any adjustments that may be required.

Theatre in the Parks has been designated smoke free since 2018.
85% of people believe smoking in front of children and young people sets a bad example, around 80% of Greater Manchester residents support smokefree outdoor spaces with 95% supporting smokefree spaces specifically for children and young people. Many events organisers have listened to what residents want and are taking the step to make their events smokefree.
