Activities
Here at Old Chapel we have many activities to help raise funds for our Chapel.
The first is our annually pantomime. We perform the pantomime every February half term and this is one of our main fundraisers.
This year's pantomime was 'Sinbad the Sailor'and was a fantastic success. Thank you to everybody that came to watch us,
we had a sell out audience every night! Book early next year to avoid disappointment! More details to follow on here when
it is all arranged.
Every month, on a Tue 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. These evenings are a good way to have a chat and socialise whilst
raising funds for our much loved chapel along with other charities both within and outside our denomination.
Here at Old Chapel we have a Women's League. They meet monthly for a chance to socialise both with other women in our
congregation and is also an opportunity to interact with many other Unitarian women in our East Cheshire and Manchester
districts. Our Women's League also raise funds for both our chapel and the national denominations chosen charity.
Here at Old Chapel we enjoy interacting with congregations of other denominations within the local area. This includes
events such as The Women's World Day of Prayer, The Whitsuntide Walks and our own Songs of Praise.
