Oakenshaw: today in Open Door Fortnight

About the event

During Community Open Door Fortnight some local community groups would like to welcome you in to show you what they do, have a chat, and perhaps you might like to take part or become a volunteer.

Some of these events are listed here, but there are many others. For the full list for the Cleckheaton, Heckmondwike, Liversedge and Gomersal areas please click on the brochure link under Further Information. The brochure includes more details than shown here, and may provide a contact.
