Our Beginnings
​
-
In 2013 Trafford council made a difficult decision to dispose of Altrincham Town Hall and to lease the building to private tender.
-
2000 local people rallied together and successfully petitioned to save the building and retain it as a community asset.
-
The bidding process re-opened to include community minded projects.
-
In 2023, Oyez Arts proudly won the bid, presenting an exciting new concept for Altrincham and the wider community and a promise to make the Hall buzz once more with community spirit.
-
OYEZ ARTS is off to a great start but needs your support to fully succeed. We are a charitable benefit society and not for profit organisation.
-
Look out for information coming soon telling you how you can be a part of the town’s heritage story and make a difference in the heart of Altrincham.
