Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find out about upcoming events?
Keep an eye on our social media channels, check our website regularly, or pop in and ask our staff about what's coming up. We also display event information in the chapel itself, so you'll see announcements when you visit.
Do I need to book for events?
It depends on the event. Some are drop-in sessions where you can just turn up, whilst others might need advance booking to ensure we have enough space or materials. Check the individual event details or give us a call.
Can I suggest an event or offer to run one?
Absolutely! We love community-led events and are always interested in new ideas. Whether you'd like to share a skill, organise a talk, or celebrate something special, contact us at [email protected] to discuss your ideas.
Are events suitable for children?
Many of our events welcome all ages, whilst others might be more suited to adults or specific age groups. Check the event details for age recommendations, and don't hesitate to ask if you're unsure whether something would be suitable.
What if I have accessibility needs?
Please let us know about any accessibility requirements when you enquire about an event. We want everyone to be able to participate and will do our best to accommodate different needs.
Do events cost anything?
Event costs vary depending on the activity. Some events are completely free, others might ask for a small contribution to cover materials or refreshments. Pricing information is always included in event details.
Can I bring friends from outside the area?
Of course! Our events welcome people from across Teesdale and beyond. Community events are a great way to introduce friends to The Old Chapel and show them what makes our area special.
What if I'm nervous about attending alone?
That's completely understandable. Our events are designed to be welcoming and inclusive. You could start with drop-in events where there's less pressure, or ask our staff to introduce you to others. Many of our regular attendees remember feeling the same way when they first joined us.
