Tenancy.

A pub since 1831 the “Ringers” is situated up a steep hill within the conservation area, just above Jubilee Park and opposite the medieval Parish Church. It enjoys a fine elevated location and visitors should note the stunning views across to Oldham and beyond, especially at night. Very much community focused, it hosts an annual Maypole event on May Bank holiday Monday and a unique Pace Egg play on Easter Monday. Occasional live music and quizzes add to its attraction. A covered smoking area and a very attractive beer garden to the rear..

The interior is of two rooms joined together and both areas have bar counters with very decorative frontage including some linen-fold but appear modern. One part has a flagstone floor. There is a separate pool room on the right with some bare bench fixed seating that looks post-war. Excellent inner door has 'Ring O'Bells Inn' etched glass.

In the upstairs function room are 8 large and 2 small collages all made from butterflies, also a glass case containing butterflies adorns the wall - they are the work of a society that met here from 1855 - just ask bar staff to see them. The room has an old bench and a draught screen by the door but a modern bar has been inserted. Opens at 5pm Mon to Fri. Not enough.
