Directions

Road Directions

From M65: Exit junction 8 and take the A56/A6068 exit towards Bury/Manchester/M66/Clitheroe. At the roundabout take the exit onto the A56 heading towards Manchester/Bury/M66/Accrington/A679 and go over one roundabout. Take the exit towards Todmorden/A681. At the roundabout take the 2nd exit onto Haslingden Road/A681 and continue on Haslingden Road. Turn right at Queen’s Square/A682. Take the 1st right onto Bury Road/A682. Take slight left at Bocholt Way/A681 and turn left to stay on Bocholt Way/A681. Continue on A681 and go over roundabout. The theatre is on the right. From M66: Continue onto A56. Take slight right at A682 (signs for Rawtenstall). Turn right at Queens Square/A682. Take the 1st right onto Bury Road/A682. Slight left at Bocholt Way/A681. Turn left to stay on Bocholt Way/A681 and continue on A681. Go through 1 roundabout and the theatre is on the right. You will need to join the M66. (This is directly off jct 18 off the M60 eastbound from Manchester and M62 from westbound from Leeds) Travel straight down the M66 to the very end (it's all dual carriageway – stay on the M66, which becomes the A56, until where you reach a roundabout at Rawtenstall. Do NOT be tempted to take any other turning before the roundabout) At this roundabout you need to go the whole way round it and take the 4th exit, which will be the turning at Tesco. The sign you are looking for is the A681 Bacup/Todmorden. Carry on down Bocholt Way to the mini roundabout. Travel straight on and carry on down Bacup Road (A681), where you will see a Texaco petrol station on your right, keep going and you will reach a BP petrol station on your left. The theatre is not far after BP on the right-hand side facing a church and next to a Chinese take-away and a hardware store. If you take the next right down the one way street at the side of the hardware store you will find parking facilities at the back of the building.  Please call if you need more details.
