Celebrating 20 years of Rochdale Style (& 20 years of happy news!)

This year marks twenty years of our family-run publication, Rochdale Style Magazine. It all began in 2004 when a group of Rochdale people decided to make a magazine for Rochdale people, with the aim to spread some positivity about our incredible town.

We LOVE Rochdale - it’s wonderful people, community, businesses, and beautiful countryside - and we hope that comes across in every page.

We'd like to say a huge thank you to the hundreds of local businesses and organisations that have supported us over the years and helped us to keep publishing positive news, even throughout a pandemic!

Thank you to everyone who has contributed stories and photographs over the years; from heartwarming tales of community spirit and inspiring success stories of Rochdale people, to delving into our borough's history and looking ahead as our town continuously evolves, we've loved sharing it all with you.

Some of our favourite interviews over the years have included Lisa Stansfield, Keira Walsh, Professor Brian Cox, Sue Devaney, Brian Mcfadden, Anna Friel, Dan Rhodes, all Rochdale born 'n' bred or strongly associated with the borough.

Finally, thank you to YOU, our amazing readers, for your continuous support and for choosing positive news over negative. After twenty years of writing about our borough, we can honestly say, there is so much to be proud of. And there's nowhere quite like Rochdale!
