Activities
Hall Bookings
Our hall has grown significantly in popularity and now has a number of regular users including:
Pilates (www.pilatescheshire.co.uk)
Photographic Society (www.knutsfordps.org.uk)
Actor Tribe (www.actortribe.co.uk)
Gaskell Society (www.gaskellsociety.co.uk)
These bookings provide an excellent income that helps with the running costs of the Chapel. They also help to make more people aware of our wonderful buildings and hopefully some might be intrigued enough by Unitarianism and Free Christianity to come along to a service or two. If you are interested in booking the hall email; or ring Alan on 01565 634992.

BROOK STREET CHAPEL WEDNESDAY FRIENDSHIP GROUP
Our ‘Friendship Group’ meets on the third Wednesday of the month at 2pm running from September to April.
It is open to both men women of all ages and our meetings are generally well attended by members, guests and friends.
If you come to Friendship Group meetings, this does not imply in any way that you will be expected to attend chapel worship, or commit yourself to Chapel life, although, of course, you would be very welcome to do so, if you wished!
We enjoy a variety of speakers and occasionally games afternoons. Something for all ages and tastes.
We have supported a variety of charities in the past, and intend to continue to do so, probably giving preference to locally based ones.
We enjoy an interesting year with various speakers, ranging from Holistic therapies, ‘the history of hats’, talks on local history, makeup demonstrations and ‘flog it, learn about antiques‘. We usually have an annual summer lunch in May and a Christmas lunch in December- the Christmas lunch welcomed fifty members and friends last year!
As you would expect, friendship and friendships are the most important aspect of our group. Not only do we enjoy working together but we keep in contact with those who are no longer able to attend. We offer a warm welcome to everyone and believe in making each stranger a friend!
