Heritage Open Day
We are pleased to invite you to our Heritage Open Day on Sunday 22nd September.  We will be open from 11.00am to 5.00pm.  You will be able to view the 'Hidden Archives' exhibits and the historic Church of St. Antony's.  For example, we have recently discovered a set of photographs which show the Trafford Park Youth Club Awards in the 1960s and the Trafford Park Gala Day and St. Antony's Church events.  Videos of the area will be playing throughout the day, some for the first time.  Light refreshments will be available for purchase.

 

We are also pleased that Paul Frost and Helen Hall will be performing on the day, including one or two of their songs from the CD 'Songs from The Park'.  They will perform about 2.00pm so please arrive in time if you wish to hear their performance.
