The weekend proper starts with Hyde Soldiers 1917 – 2017 on Thursday 19th October in St Bartholomew`s. This moving annual event offers both learning and commemoration, reflecting on the war time news of a century ago, and the life of local people. Following a programme of music and poetry the names of the 1917 casualties are read aloud, to be heard by the modern day residents of their houses, and all who now walk the same streets, worship in the same church, and frequent the same pubs as those who left Hyde for war a century ago, never to return. More information and booking for all events is available by clicking in the Events box on this page
