Activities
Here at Old Chapel we have many activities to help raise funds for our Chapel.
The first is our annually pantomime. We perfrom the pantomime every February half term and this is one of our main fundraisers. This year's pantomime is 'Babes In the Wood'and tickets are on sale now. Dates of the performance are Sat 13th - Sat 20th February (excluding Sunday). Tickets are £6.00 Adults and £3.00 children and can be booked by ringing Jenny Halsall on (0161) 339-7450. Hope to see you there!
Every month, on a Tuesday evening, we have regular coffee evenings, which differ from month to month. Some of our favourites are mystery drives, comedy nights or a general sing along.
