Rochdale Pioneers Museum
Community Arts & Heritage
The Rochdale Pioneers Museum is widely regarded as the home of the worldwide Co-operative movement. Here in Toad Lane on December 21 1844, the Rochdale Equitable Pioneers Society opened their first little store selling pure, unadulterated food at fair prices and honest weights and measures.
The museum has three floors. We have a display and exhibition area, including a film showcase, as well as a play and activities area with sofas, a play shop, games and more. Everyone is welcome and we offer free hot & cold drinks and snacks on the selected dates on which we operate our warm space.
Our Warm Welcome Space will reopen on Saturday 5th October and will run on Thursdays and alternate Saturdays throughout the winter. Please check our social media or website before making a special trip to the museum.
