Fun on the Farm
It’s ten years since Greenslate Farm in Billinge opened as
a Community Farm, and the members will be celebrating
its 10th anniversary by holding a series of events
throughout the year.
The Farm has a long-standing reputation for staging
vibrant and engaging community events, and members
are promising a return to those type of events now that
Covid restrictions have eased.
The first is a
Family Fun Day,
which is being
held on Sunday
10th April from
10 am to 4 pm.
This will consist
of an artisan
market, an
Easter Egg Hunt
for the children,
live music
throughout the day and many more attractions.
Delicious coffee and cakes, tasty snacks and wholesome
meals will all be available at the Straw Bale Cafe and, of
course, the donkeys and other animals will be welcoming
visitors, just as they do every weekend.
If you are a local person looking to sell your craftwork or
produce at the Family Fun Day, or you’re a musician who
could help to entertain the visitors, please contact the
Greenslate Community Farm Community Nurture Team

Green Fingers
The social group Ashton Circle has added another string
to its bow after acquiring a little allotment on Bolton
Road. The group hopes to grow fruits, vegetables, flowers
and create habitats for local wildlife.
Group members are currently in the process of clearing
the land but once it is safe and ready, they would love
to welcome members old and new to go help out. To
become a member or get involved with the allotment,
please email becky@community-circles.co.uk
