Starting Out: An exhibition about Growing Up in Bolton

Starting Out: An exhibition about Growing Up in Bolton

Saturday 16 July 2022 to Sunday 25 September 2022

Our big exhibition this summer explores 100 years of being young in Bolton. Packed with classic toys, games, photographs and local people’s memories, it will take you on a trip back into childhood.

A special section of the exhibition celebrates the joy and creativity of youth culture, especially through music.
