Curated with the community, the museum will bring together historic artefacts, local memories, and creative activity to celebrate the town’s heritage, history and culture.
This is a place to tell the stories of Stretford and its people - past and present. As the town grows and evolves, we’re taking time to reflect on its roots and the people who have helped make it what it is today.
With community workshops and creative sessions delivered in collaboration with the National Football Museum, the Unofficial Stretford Museum is a space to discover, share and reconnect with Stretford’s roots, and to be part of its next chapter.
The Stretfest returns to take over the town on Saturday 28th March and we will be right in the thick of it, with local food, independent businesses, good tunes, entertainment and plenty of seating - the perfect spot at the epicentre of the festival to grab a bite, meet your mates, entertain the little ones and soak up the festival vibes.
Hosted by The Unofficial Stretford Museum, Common Arts brings a Gala Listening Evening "Sounds Like Stretford is an audio storytelling project capturing real voices and memories connected to Stretford.
We're excited to share our next community commission - Longford: A Manchester Love Story by Juliette Tomlinson.
