SADDLEWORTH MUSEUM REVIEWS
My wife and I decided to make a visit to this lovely little museum spread over 4 floors, and it cost us just 3 pounds each to get in great price, and the wonderful staff are so helpful and very welcoming . there is so much to read and see . well worth a visit they have costume for children to dress up in . they have a little shop and toilets for paying customers on the ground floor. So next time you're in Saddleworth / Uppermill, pay them a visit, and you will not be disappointed.
We were really impressed with the high standard of the Saddleworth Museum. It is a modern building, full of really interesting facts about the area, and lovely objects on display. The staff were helpful and pleasant. Highly recommended.
Great place to visit lots of Yorkshire souvenirs to buy loved the old photographs of Saddleworth by Peter Fox - Saddleworth in the West Riding Of Yorkshire.

LANCASTER PARK & ANIMAL FARM REVIEWS
It was a great day out. There are lots of things for the children to do. They had such fun feeding the animals. There are things for the adults also like the go-carts, and the view is amazing with a beautiful walk near a canal.
Such an amazing day out with kids! Huge farm with lots to see and do. Cheap entry into a farm and I even got two free feed bags as I went and two hours or so before closing time! Loved every minute of it and so did the kids! Highly recommend.
A really lovely place, reasonably priced and has loads of great animals to see and feed. There was a very nice girl at the admissions that helped to make our visit extra special, thank you.

BOUNDARY PARK REVIEWS
I love the place. I'm a season ticket holder of Oldham athletic. I'm there all of the time. A great place to spend your Saturday afternoon. Well, I think to do anyway.
The first time watching Oldham play was a cracking little ground with friendly staff and stewards. Managed to buy tickets online while outside the ground. And the pitch invasion was hilarious.
Fantastic fans and a lovely stadium. The fan zone for food and drinks etc is brilliant.
