What is the best time to visit Oldham?

Winter months, particularly December to February, are cold and damp, with frequent frost and occasional snow on higher ground.
What should I pack for a trip to Oldham?
Oldham’s weather changes quickly, so layers are essential. A waterproof jacket and sturdy shoes are useful year-round. In summer, pack a light jumper for cooler evenings; in winter, bring a warm coat, hat and gloves. An umbrella is rarely wasted, whatever the season.
