A popular Hydes Brewery-owned community pub in Ashton on Mersey has delivered a memorable Christmas party for more than 90 local pensioners.
Guests at The Old Plough enjoyed a three-course Christmas lunch, a drink, and a full afternoon of festive entertainment.
The event was funded through donations and year-round fundraising activities, ranging from hamper ticket sales, quiz and bingo nights, and prize raffles carried out by the pub’s team, regulars, and the local community.
Niamh Kenny joined The Old Plough team last year and was promoted to general manager in June. She has already made a notable impact, leading community initiatives and fundraising efforts for local causes such as St Anne’s Hospice.
She also participated in the Great Manchester Run with colleagues from Hydes, further strengthening ties with the local community.
“The Christmas party for local pensioners was a huge success and showed the true spirit of the Old Plough, confirming why the party has become such an anticipated event for so many local people,” said Niamh.
“The pub was filled with laughter and genuine happiness. The entire team was determined to deliver a memorable day that brought joy, comfort, and companionship to local people, who look forward to meeting up with friends old and new.”
