Barber Booth Chapel at Edale has been active for over 200 years and thanks to a major renovation project it is being restored to its former glory. Local people joined together to save the chapel for years to come by improving facilities such as a toilet and a kitchen space, and making it a more useable space for all, whilst maintaining its original character.
The chapel offers 12 services a year, and the congregation is growing with more families attending events. The doors are open to walkers or those wishing to drop in on Tuesdays and Fridays as renovation permits.
Edale Methodist Church is also part of the Peak Wesley Way – a pilgrimage route for small groups of all faiths and none that connects six rural chapels in the beautiful Peak District National Park.
