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.
