Visit to Partington Theatre & Victoria Hall, Glossop
Saturday 23rd November 2024
Meet at 10am at the front of Glossop Train Station, Norfolk Street
Join us for a visit to two historic buildings in the fantastic High Peak town of Glossop.
First we visit Victoria Hall which was donated to Glossop by Herbert Rhodes and Edward Partington and was intended to provide a free library, museum, art school and a venue for educational public lectures. This venue is on the verge of renovation with significant public funding having been awarded.
Next we go to the traditional and antique Partington theatre where we have tea and biscuits followed by a talk and tour and finally a mini ‘taster’ play put on for us. This is a wonderful event opportunity proffered to us by Mr David Wilson of the theatre management.
This day is also the Glossop Christmas lights switch-on event and Christmas Market with entertainment and stalls on Glossop Market on Market Street and Norfolk Square. For a reasonably priced lunch, The Shed cafe on Market Street provides hearty fare.
Trains to Glossop depart Manchester Piccadilly at 9am and 9.30am
£6.50 (Members) – £8.00 (Non-members)
