Outwood Working Mens Club and Institute's history begins in 1901. It has provided facilities for learning and socialising for the local community. Mining used to be the main source of work. The event focusses on the club's history and development.

The original clubhouse was established by purchasing a property that was previously a shop on Ledger Lane in Outwood. There were 3 principal rooms for members; a games room, a reading room, and a "smoke room". Various additional facilities were added to suit the operation as a Working Men's Club. The trustees also purchased land beside this initial base and in 1907 plans were filed to create a much larger purpose built clubhouse. The plans for this show a library and a smoke room at the front, behind this was a bar and kitchen and at the back a large room across the width of the building doubled as a concert room and billiard room. At the back of the building the plan shows a lawn and games ground and theree is mention of a bowling green. The building was erected in 1908
