Oldham Pride is to host an event later this month.
The committee behind Oldham’s annual Pride event is to host an ‘ugly jumper’ event on Friday, December 16.
The event, which takes place from 2pm to 4.30pm will be held in Oldham Library and will feature a prize for the ‘worst ugly Christmas sweater’.
Mince pies, chocolate biscuits, and hot chocolate will also be on offer – as well as a Christmas quiz.
The event will allow the committee to receive feedback and suggestions on how to make next year’s pride event ‘bigger and better.’
The event returned in July following a three-year absence brought on due to the pandemic.
Hundreds were in attendance for the parade, which marched for about 10 minutes from Parliament Square to George Square.

Organisations marching included Pennine Care NHS Trust, St John Ambulance, Greater Manchester Police, Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue, and even the appearance of a massive Jesus figure courtesy of Liberty Church.
At George Square, businesses and charities occupied a range of stalls, and an open-air stage provided entertainment and speakers.
