Future Events

Date : Monday 5th May 2025 (Public Holiday)
Time : 11.00am - 2.30pm
Event : Heritage Centre Open, Ford Model T Tour/Visit (Trafford Park)
Location : St Antony's Centre, M17 1JF
MODEL T FORDS AT THE HERITAGE CENTRE
On Monday 5th May (Public Holiday), a number of Ford Model T vehicles will be involved in one of their driving tours and will call past the Heritage Centre.  Whilst the actual time that the vehicles will arrive is not clear, there will definitely be one vehicle on site from 11.00am  Other vehicles will arrive after this anytime up to 1.30pm.  This is subject to road traffic conditions.  As you can understand, many of the original Ford vehicles being driven are not the fastest, so will vary in terms of arrival times.  We are hoping that some will stay for a short period whilst they visit the Heritage Centre and grab some light refreshments.  The public are more than welcome to attend.
VE DAY CELEBRATIONS
Given the VE day celebrations on the 8th May, access to the War Memorial outside St Antony’s Church will also be available, as will the Metropolitan Vickers Memorials in the Centre itself.
HERITAGE SHOP
The Heritage Shop,  which features some of the Trafford Park road signs from the 1980s as well as other memorabilia and books are available.  We also have other Heritage books on-site including the Model T Ford history book.
FUNDING AND DONATIONS
It is a tough funding environment, so any support that we receive is most welcome.  Should you wish to make a donation to the work of the Centre or register as a Friend, direct payments can be made to the Charity via The Co-op Bank in the name of St Antony’s Centre, sort code 08 92 99, account number 65856370.  Gift Aid forms are available on our website, (Gift Aid Form) as this enables us to recover the tax paid from donations for those who are registered as tax payers.  This does not cost you anything addition but can add 25% to the value of any donations we receive.   Our website also includes details of other ways you can donate to the centre.  Thank you for your continued support. 
VISIT US
Please pop-in and visit the Centre on Bank Holiday Monday between 11.00am and 2.30pm or any weekday between 9.30am to 4.30pm  Please contact us if you require any further information.
