The heart of the community

The ‘Lydgate Stitchers’ are part of the ‘Love Lydgate Community’ and meet regularly on a Wednesday afternoon in Lydgate Parish Hall. Members enjoy creating in a friendly, lively atmosphere and work on individual and collaborative and often large, complex projects. A variety of textile techniques are experienced such as hand and machine embroidery, appliqué, quilting, patchwork, crochet and knitting, beadwork, and textile crafts.

The ‘Stitchers’ actively support Love Lydgate, the wider local Community and St Anne’s Church by taking part in fund raising activities and annual events.
There is no membership fee to join the group but members pay an agreed contribution towards running costs when attending meetings.

Here at 20th Oldham Lydgate Guides we are based within the Parish Hall across from Lydgate church next to the White Hart.
Currently we meet virtually with the vision to continue face to face meetings from September every Thursday night at 7pm – 9pm. We enjoy working on lots of exciting activities which allow us to learn new skills and earn colourful badges which we can decorate our camp blankets and uniforms with. We enjoy playing games, making camp fires and singing campfire songs.
We have two big camps per year which are filled with lots of enjoyment and adventure. If you are looking for fun, adventure, excitement, friendship and somewhere you can be yourself and make some amazing friends then 20th Oldham Lydgate Guides is the place for you.
It is £28.20 to join and £12.50 per month thereafter. You need to be 10 years old to join us.

Lydgate Brass Band is a friendly non-contesting band whose focus is for its members to have an enjoyable night out.

Unfortunately, the same as everyone else we have been badly hit by the pandemic. We are all looking forward to getting back to rehearsals on the 28th June, although it will take us a while to get back to the standard of playing we were at 15 months ago.

We are always happy to welcome new experienced players who wish to join us.

After rehearsals quite a few of us move next door to the White Hart for a pint and jokes.

We usually do around 8 or 9 concerts a year including a couple in Lydgate Parish Hall and for Love Lydgate’s events.

We meet on a Monday evening between 7:30 – 9:30 pm in the Parish Hall.
