The Story of a Shopping Revolution - Changing Daily Lives Throughout the World
Rochdale Pioneers Museum, 31 Toad Lane, Rochdale, Greater Manchester, OL12 0NU
Rochdale Pioneers Museum tells the story of the British Co-operative Movement, from it's origins with the Fenwick Weavers in the 1760s, to the famous Rochdale Pioneers - the creators of the modern co-operative, through to the present day.
For HODS 2026, we are offering free museum entry on Saturday 19th September. There will be a chance to explore all three floors of our space, along with a special object handling session, where you can get up close and personal with some of our collection objects.
