Rochdale’s streets will be transformed into an immersive night-time light and audio experience this winter, as Stories We Tell: Rochdale invites you to explore the borough through the real memories, voices and lived experiences of local people.
This guided audio walk will use large-scale projections, moving imagery and powerful 3D sound to animate buildings and streets across the town centre, including Milkstone Road and Rochdale Town Hall Square. Audiences will journey through Rochdale after dark, encountering stories of belonging, change and hope gathered directly from local communities.
“Stories We Tell is a powerful way to honour our past, celebrate the present and keep the stories of our community alive,” said Hayley Garner, street mural artist who contributed to the project.
ACCESS INFORMATION: This is an outdoor guided walk, please dress for the weather and wear appropriate footwear. The route begins at Rochdale Train Station and ends at Rochdale Town Hall. The route is flat and mostly follows a path but there are some road crossing moments – don’t worry, our volunteers are on hand to support every step of the way.
Stories We Tell: Rochdale has been kindly funded by the Rochdale Borough Council.
