This July, Longdendale Tales Art Collective will be bringing Woodhead Chapel back to life! We’ve curated five unique events blending music, photography, poetry, history, theatre and more...Every Monday evening enjoy a premiere of new works created by artists and performers from Glossop.
A Sonic Celebration
Music from Arnfield Brass Band closes the summer series.
Plus, Nanny Greenteeth, Nell Nettlespike and Sir Mottram De Mossland...Glossop Improv actors rework the curious characters from the myths and legends of Longdendale.
Curator Clare Savory finishes with an exclusive audio performance pulling together the stories and soundscapes of past and present from the Longdendale Tales podcast series.
What to expect:
Park and meet at Crowden Car Park at 7.15pm.
The event begins in Crowden woodland, next to the car park at 7:30pm.
Please be on time as we’ll be walking up to the Woodhead chapel altogether at 7:45pm and can’t wait for latecomers!
Then there will be a 1km walk (mixed terrain, off-road paths and slight ascent up to the chapel) which takes the average person 20 minutes.
There are steep steps up to the chapel door, but a handrail is available.
During the performances you will sit on chapel pews for two acts with a short interval.
Once the event is finished, at 9:30pm we will walk back to Crowden Car Park - we strongly recommend bringing a torch to help light the way for you and others.
There is no phone signal at Crowden Car Park, but there is at the chapel.
Please note: This event is not suitable for those under 18 years old. No dogs.
