Middleton Art House - Touchstones Collection

17th Feb 2026 10:00 - 15:00 Middleton

Middleton Makes Change is all about celebrating people power, inspiring communities to take action in our local areas and making a difference together. Fuelled by Rochdale’s rich history –  from the Cooperative Movement to the Peterloo Massacre – we will explore how collective action has shaped social change in the past and how it can continue to shape our future.

This is a Collections on Tour event so we will be bringing objects from our museum and local studies collections out into the community.

Join us on the Tuesday 17 and Thursday 19 February for…

  • Banner making
  • LEGO Build the Change workshop

Come and discover amazing objects, powerful stories and creative ways to make change happen – together!’
