Victoria Wood Exhibition

The 20th April 2026 marks the 10th anniversary of the passing of Victoria Wood. To celebrate the life and achievements of Bury’s most famous daughter, Bury Art Museum has collaborated with Victoria’s Literary Estate and family to bring her unique archive to Bury.

We are delighted to share with you original scripts, notebooks, song sheets , letters and photos once belonging to Victoria — all brought together in this exhibition to remember and commemorate her life.

Victoria Wood (CBE, OBE) is one of the country’s most loved comedians. Her wit and humour made her a favourite of millions of TV viewers and her talents as a playwright, stand-up comedian, actress, writer, and singer-songwriter earned her many awards and accolades throughout her life.

This exhibition also features the work of photographers Harry Borden and Andy Hollingworth — whose images show many of Victoria’s collaborators — and Manchester artist Stanley Chow, who has created a new artwork of Victoria for the exhibition.
