Middleton Art House - Touchstones Collection

19th 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 Thursday 19 February for…

  • Banner making
  • LEGO Build the Change workshop
  • Family-friendly crafts

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