George Street Chapel
A Unique Heritage & Events Venue in the Heart of Oldham
Nestled in the centre of Oldham, this beautifully restored Grade II* listed former Independent Methodist Chapel is a venue like no other. Blending historic charm with modern versatility, it provides a stunning backdrop for a variety of occasions.
Whether you’re planning an intimate ceremony, a heartfelt celebration, a respectful wake, or a professional meeting, small conference, or commercial function, our venue offers a unique and welcoming space tailored to your needs.
With its charismatic architecture and timeless elegance, this venue is the perfect setting to create unforgettable memories.
Built in 1815, George Street Chapel boasts a unique heritage beauty and has been sympathetically and tastefully renovated by modern day artisans using money awarded by Heritage Lottery Fund and the Andrew LLoyd Webber Foundation's Architectural Heritage Fund. Simplistic décor in-keeping with the original building, combined with the awe-inspiring features of the chapel, complement one another to create a beautiful and memorable canvas for whatever occasion you are hosting. Age UK Oldham have been able to bring the building up-to-date in terms of audio-visual equipment, modern facilities and disabled access, making the space exceptionally versatile and flexible to suit your needs.
The central location of the chapel means its easily accessible using various modes of transport. The tram system, bus station and car parking are all in very close proximity.
Heritage Tours and KS1 & KS2 Educational Visits
Our educational, interesting and well-received tours take you back in time with custumed actors immersing you in Victorian times and regaling you with stories of those who worshipped and lived in the chapel and it's cellar dwellings. Feedback from customers has been fantastic, with nothing else in the local area providing a parallel experience!
We also provide a similar historical experience for schools, along with activities and immersive learning that fits within the Key Stage 1 and 2 curriculum. Many local schools have taken part in these educational visits and have booked to come back again and again because it was viewed to be such a fantastic local and low-cost resource.
We hold events throughout the year for all the family so check out our events list here www.ticketsource.co.uk/age-uk-oldham
