In July 2024, Oldham Council announced that it will re-open the Oldham Coliseum on Fairbottom Street in time for Panto 2025.
The £10m project is being supported by £6.1m from the Towns Fund and the remainder from Oldham Council's regeneration budget.
This plan replaces previous proposals for a new performance space on Union Street.
Tilbury Douglas have been appointed as contractor for the scheme, and are now on site undertaking the restoration work.
