The  Vale is based in Mossley, in the foothills of the Peak District, The Vale is  a former textile mill converted to a state-of-the-art venue for all kinds of  artistic, creative and Carnival happenings. ‍ In the community, The Vale is perhaps best known for our live performance  venue where a whole host of different music, theatre, dance and cinema events  take place. You can take a look at our current season here. ‍ ‍ Our space is also used by our resident Carnival arts organisations, Global  Grooves and Cabasa, to develop new Carnival productions, train new and  emerging Carnival artists, and host masterclasses with global superstars and  cultural leaders as part of our Arts Council England funded Northern Carnival  Centre for Excellence. ‍ ‍ Visual artists can also find top notch mixed-use and specialist studios  alongside exhibition space at The Vale. Electronics, carpentry, and all kinds  of textile work, including sewing and dyeing, are accommodated, while  purpose-built storage keeps artwork and equipment including our resident  puppets safe. ‍ ‍ **Seeing is believing** Please do get in touch if you would like to see our facilities for  yourself. All our spaces are available for hire and we would love to welcome  you to our growing family of creative organisations that call The Vale  home. **Accessibility** ‍ We are working towards becoming a fully accessible venue. As an old mill,  there are many renovations to be made to our venue, so please do get in touch  if you have specific accessibility requirements and we will advise. ‍ ‍ At present, our live performance space, toilets, and visual arts studios  are accessible, but our older mixed-use 1st floor studio ‚Äì the one you might  have visited before ‚Äì remains accessible only via a flight of steep stairs.
