George Street Chapel Tours
September 19 @ 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM
Hidden in the heart of Oldham lies a remarkable treasure waiting to be explored. Step inside George Street Chapel, a breathtaking Grade II* listed building with over 200 years of history to uncover.
Built in 1815 by local people—including hatters and mill workers—this extraordinary chapel is the world’s first purpose-built Independent Methodist Chapel. From its beginnings as a place of worship to its roles as a school, family home, and now a beautifully restored heritage venue, every corner has a story to tell.
On this FREE Heritage Open Day, you can:
- Explore a unique and beautifully restored historic building
- Watch a short film about the chapel’s journey through more than two centuries of change
- Experience a hidden architectural gem rarely seen by many local residents
Owned and cared for by Age UK Oldham, the chapel is preserved to support vital local services for older people in the community.
Whether you’re a history enthusiast, architecture lover, or simply curious about Oldham’s heritage, this is an opportunity to step inside one of the town’s most remarkable landmarks.
