Our Top Hotels
Nestled between the rivers Irk and Medlock on elevated ground in Greater Manchester, Oldham is a town steeped in a rich tapestry of history and culture. Once the world’s most productive cotton-spinning mill town, Oldham’s roots are intricately woven with those of the textile industry, a legacy evident in the town's architectural heritage. Today, the mountainous piles of cotton have given way to a renewed focus on education and the performing arts, part of an initiative to revitalise the town's economy and enrich its cultural scene.
Delve deeper into Oldham's past to uncover its fascinating origins, with its name deriving not from Old English but from the Old Norse Aldehulme, denoting 'old village or place'. With historical remnants tracing back to Neolithic, Roman, and Celtic periods, Oldham’s charm isn't just in its more recent textile-affiliated past, but indeed sprawls across millennia. Political civil disturbances and social movements inject an essence of notable societal history into Oldham, further enriching the tapestry of this town’s remarkable journey.
When to visit Oldham
If blissful weather is your calling card for a splendid trip, set your sights on a mid-July visit to Oldham when the average temperatures hover around a delightful 20.2°C. Keen on exploring the town's attractions sans downpour? Plan your getaway for February, March, or September to enjoy the months with the least likelihood of significant rainfall.
Yet, don't let Oldham's generally cool temperature and occasional rain or snow deter you. The charm of Oldham resides not just in its weather, but in the rich narrative of its past and the promising horizon of its future. Plug into the vibe of the town during the peak tourist seasons of October, July, and December and remember to book your Oldham hotels and flights in advance with Lycafly to enjoy the best deals.
