About Inside Odds On

Join us to experience this unique, immersive and free pop-up film that warns about the dangers of gambling addiction in Rochdale town centre.

The award-winning and critically-acclaimed Inside Odds On will transform an empty shop at the Rochdale Exchange Shopping Centre into a mesmerising, immersive underwater betting shop with this ground-breaking installation.

Between Saturday 5 to Saturday 19 October theatre company Dante or Die will provide a 40-minute simulated experience where the audience is put in the shoes of a woman battling the highs and lows of gambling.

The film was created in consultation with people with lived experience of gambling harm, using their own words, and is inspired by their openness and creativity as they reflect on their journey towards recovery through Gordon Moody gambling recovery centres throughout the UK.

Audiences will be given opportunities to watch the film as well as learn about the making of it and discover resources and support information for gambling issues.

Due to the topics covered in the installation the experience is strictly 18+

Trigger warnings

The films presented contain gambling (live play, images, sounds, slot simulation) and discussions around lived experience of gambling which may be triggering to people with a gambling addiction or who are in recovery. There will be support and safeguarding services present and a full support pack will be available for anyone who may be affected by the issues raised in the production.

Rochdale Exchange Shopping Centre is located in the centre of Rochdale, with entrances on Yorkshire Street, Newgate and Hunters Lane.

Rochdale Exchange has a multi-storey car park with over 732 spaces which operates on vehicle registration recognition. There are parent and child spaces on GP level and level 1, and disabled badge holder spaces on levels 3, 5, 7 and GP. Rochdale Exchange Shopping Centre car park is a Park Mark® 2022 Accredited Car Park.

Parking is offered FREE on Sundays and Bank Holidays to all shoppers.

The car park operates on a ticketless system where the barrier captured your number plate as you enter the car park meaning there is no need to get a ticket. When you are ready to leave simply enter your registration number at a pay station located within the Centre and make a payment for your parking.

Please note: The exit barrier will automatically raise on exit of the car park so please ensure you have made payment for your visit before leaving. Any individual being found to have not paid will face being issued with a £100 parking charge notice.
