The Turnpike

Who we are

The Turnpike is a new independent arts organisation. Our purpose is to bring the very best art to Leigh, creating new cultural opportunities for all and raising aspiration and resilience across the community.

What we do

We deliver a programme of changing contemporary art exhibitions throughout the year, bringing nationally significant artists to Leigh. These exhibitions are accompanied by artist talks and events. We also host regular performances of touring children's theatre, linked to the exhibition themes, as part of the Big Imaginations network.
