Prices and availability

For a full price list including full, half day and hourly rates please download our brochure or call our reception team for availability.

We require a booking form to be returned to us to secure dates.

We offer a reduced rate for charities booking with us.

Early access and evening events will incur an additional charge for staffing provision.

What's included

For groups booking a half or full days hire, we include an introductory talk about the building and the heritage of the co-operative movement for 20 people. Additional numbers are charged at £3.50 p/h.

We provide you with flipcharts, pens, tea and coffee facilities and high quality projection and audio equipment for presentations.

Catering

We are happy for booking groups to arrange catering to be brought to the site as we cannot provide this in house. If you would like us to arrange provision for a breakfast meeting, please contact us about this as well as with any allergy requirements in advance.

If you would like to arrange a lunch or evening meal for your party, please see our recommended providers in our brochure or contact the Baum Public house next door to the museum(extensive menu, real ales and an attractive garden to the rear).

The Baum Pub

The learning loft is supported by: AIM Hallmarks Funding

The Co-operative Heritage Trust is a member of the Association of Independent Museums (no- 2643) and gratefully acknowledges the Hallmarks grant awarded to help us achieve the improvements we have made to our hire space in 2019. This helps us to generate income into our museum to help us keep it free at source to our visitors from the local area, the UK and around the world.

*Please be aware that bookings at Rochdale Pioneers Museum are accepted at the discretion of the Managing Authority and may be declined if the nature of the booking is considered contrary to the aims and mission of the Trust.
