Manchester’s Award Winning Theatre For Participation

Since opening in 2011, Chorlton’s very own venue has entertained and enthralled audiences with some of the best small-scale touring theatre in the country, alongside productions made by wonderful in-house creatives.

Over the years, Janine, Simon and the team have worked with hundreds of  actors and musicians; many are professional, some have learning disabilities, some have experience of homelessness, some are from our local community and all of them are brilliant!

The Edge is a true community hub for creativity, expression and learning: as well as shows, there are classes where you can act, sing, dance, play the ukulele, write, paint, draw or just be.

And the Dressing Room Cafe is a must-visit for pre-show drinks, a fab lunch or a superior brew. Don’t take our word for it – they won an Observer Food Monthly Award!
