SUMMER EXHIBITION - KELLOGG'S
We have been delighted to meet a range of new visitors over the summer following the launch of the Kellogg’s Exhibition to mark the closure of their Trafford Park Factory which has just taken place.  The historic Church of St Antony’s will also be open for visits. This year celebrates 125 years as a unique “Tin Tabernacle” serving the community and steeped in history.
WALK AND TALK
This year we introduced a Walk and Talk opportunity which has proved very popular not only do you get a chance to see the exhibitions and artefacts, but a short 45-minute walk takes place with a guide explaining the key sites and stories.
For the Open Weekend there is a link to the Eventbrite page to book a place which is £10 per person. This will cover the Village area, Church and gardens.

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.
