A passionate campaign to save the historic venue on Fairbottom Street was unsuccessful
Plans for a new home for Oldham’s Coliseum Theatre have been lodged – five months after the iconic venue closed.
Oldham Coliseum Theatre Ltd, with a new board which formed following the theatre’s closure, is to be the new ‘anchor’ tenant of the building on Greaves Street, which faces onto Union Street. The Coliseum dates back to 1885, during the peak of the cotton industry. By the 2000s it had become the only surviving professional theatre in the town.
A studio space is also proposed with a maximum seating capacity of 120 seats, to be used as a ‘flexible multi-purpose space’ to work as a rehearsal space and also a secondary performance venue within the building.
