Around The Match Exhibition
Around The Match channels the diverse experiences of a new, all-female football team of eleven ‘players’ drawn from diverse corners of the women’s game into film and photography, plus a range of memorabilia including a matchday programme and football shirt, designed by We Are Willow, in consultation with female fashion students from Wigan and Leigh College. The window exhibition showcases the memorabilia created, available to buy, income from which will be fed back into the women’s and girl’s game locally. No need to book.

Creating Space: Imagine, Make, Play
Working alongside professional artists, visitors are invited to co-create an exhibition taking inspiration from the women’s game, past and present.
Creating Space will encourage people to imagine and make, using a variety of materials and techniques, including textiles, sculpture, model-making, flags, banners, collage, badge-making, embroidery and more. The exhibition will evolve over the first six weeks of the project with an artist ‘in residence’ each week during that time. Visitors will be able to continue to add to the exhibition throughout August. Suitable for families and all age groups. No need to book.
When: Tuesday 5th July – Saturday 13th August (Tuesday to Saturday, 10am - 4pm)
Venue: The Turnpike Gallery, Civic Square, Leigh, WN7 1EB
