To celebrate all things Ormskirk there is an event on Sunday 14th July 2019. This event has become an Ormskirk Institution and the centre of Ormskirk is packed with entertainments and activities. There will also be groups such as ourselves with all our records of Ormskirk.

There's always a lot going on behind the scenes at ODFHS, but just lately, there has been a bit more activity than usual.

Dig up your roots

For the first time since 2012, Ormskirk and District Family History Society are hosting a family and local history fair in Ormskirk. Dig Up Your Roots In West Lancashire will be held in the Langham Hall, at the Emmanuel Methodist Church, Ormskirk, on Saturday 5 October 2019.

We'll add more details to the event page below in due course, but we're already looking forward to it!
