Saddleworth Life is here to celebrate the good and the great about the Saddleworth area and what surrounding areas have to offer. Don’t expect to see anything that you can grumble about, it’s hopefully all interesting features, articles, announcements and reviews – all good vibes we hope!
We are also the go to place for events and listings. If you wish to advertise an event or group please get in touch.
Saddleworth Life has evolved from Saddleworth News, an online news and information source that has a long history in the area, starting on twitter years and years ago.
We’ve run Saddleworth News as a website for over 10 yrs now – giving news and information about Saddleworth and the surrounding area. It’s for people who live in Saddleworth as well as those who like to visit the area. To use a trendy piece of jargon, it’s a ‘hyperlocal’ website, which basically means it contains information about what’s going on in a particular local area.
The site is now edited and managed by Judith Gidney as part of Saddleworth Community Projects CIC.
