THE Turnpike Gallery in Leigh is hosting an Art Factory from Saturday until August 4.

Local artists will be running workshops where people of all ages can learn and have fun while celebrating the local community's creative talent.

Alongside the workshops, Wigan based artist Steffan Jones-Hughes has been commissioned to produce artwork.

As part of the research members of the public are invited to share their memories and experiences of the gallery. Those who participate will have their work displayed in the Stairs gallery from August 1 to 15.
