Express Yourself!
If you're an individual or organisation with an interest in all aspects of theatre, drama, expressive art and performing,
we want to hear from you!

activ8 is the participatory department of the Octagon Theatre, Bolton, and is recognised as one of the leading departments of its kind in the UK. activ8’s work is recognised as a mark of excellence throughout Bolton, Greater Manchester and the North West, and the department is always in great demand.

Through a range of projects, some of which operate within the Octagon Theatre and some within schools and community venues in Bolton, activ8 provides a stimulating, challenging, culturally relevant educational resource for people of all ages and backgrounds. In addition, activ8 runs a very popular and highly acclaimed youth theatre for young people from across the district, who perform regularly on the Octagon stage.

activ8 is generously sponsored by United Co operatives.
