About this Event
Third Space Oldham Launch Event
There are spaces where Oldham’s business community meets. There are spaces where Oldham’s creative community meest. Third Space Oldham is where they collaborate.
Join us in the stunning Mill 2 Gallery at 1853 Studios & Gallery on Tuesday 20th October, 2026 for the first of our monthly events aimed at uniting our business and creative communities together to collaborate and innovate
1853 Studios is a uniquely creative hub near the centre of Oldham, home to an incredible array of talented artists, creatives and media producers.
Our events will specifically help meet Oldham’s economic and creative needs in an exciting and innovative way. We’re here to help build a brand-new, self-sustaining micro-economy that floods Oldham’s businesses with creative input, supports creatives and breathes new ideas into the town.
How it Works
We sit in the middle of the Venn diagram - the third space - connecting two distinct yet overlapping worlds:
- For Businesses & Capital: Find alternative approaches, disruptive design skills, and the sharp creative minds needed to innovate and scale your business.
- For Artists & Creators: Find commercial work, private sector partnerships, and direct project sponsorship without compromising your vision.
We promise you good music, casual drinks, live creative elements, rapid-fire project pitching, and a unique business-to-creative buddy system - we’re here to inspire, make connections and do business.
Tickets for this launch event are limited.
