Oldham Coliseum Theatre

Every story matters.

2026

Every story matters – because every person matters. Theatre is more than just a show. It’s a place to meet people where they are, to work together in shaping culture on our high street, and to change how the world sees Oldham.

What we did

Brand Strategy Visual Identity Web Design & Dev

Boldly Made

The identity is built around the brand idea of Boldly Made – an idea that captures Oldham Coliseum as a making theatre: a place of transformation and collaboration that crafts bold productions and amplifies diverse voices.

Big typography, bright colours, and a dynamic brand system reflect this idea, showing each voice and each act of creativity contributing to something greater – shaping a collective story that belongs to everyone.

A space for stories and opportunity

The new website was designed to give the Coliseum a place not only to showcase productions, sell tickets, and provide venue information, but also to share its bold vision and act as a hub of opportunities for emerging talent.

Coliseum website components including show cards, a ticket checkout totalling £105.00 and donation buttons
