THERE will be festive fun and treats as Dovestone Women’s Institute’s Christmas Markets return to Saddleworth Rangers Rugby Club in Greenfield on Sunday, December 4.
The day, starting at 10am at the site on Shaw Hall Bank Road, offers fun for the whole family with Santa and his elves in his grotto, a great variety of stalls and a food hall and café.
The event will be in aid of the Dovestone WI’s chosen charity of the year, Oldham Mountain Rescue Team, which is based in Greenfield.
Meanwhile, their November members’ meeting is being replaced with a Members’ Christmas Party Night with a 70s theme and disco at Weaver and Wilde, Uppermill on December 2.
There will not be a December meeting due to the Christmas festivities so the next Members’ meeting will be Wednesday, January 25 when you can get your thinking caps on for their annual quiz night.
