Join us on 24th May at 1 pm for a gentle community walk through Congleton’s green spaces, as we document today’s wild plants and compare them with records from over a century ago. Help uncover how our local nature has changed — one step, one species at a time.

For over 350 years textile manufacturing was the mainstay of Congleton’s economic development. This trade influenced every aspect of the town’s life though the provision of services and its industrial, commercial and domestic architecture.

Are you in possession of artifacts that could hold historical significance? Finds Liaison Officer Heather Beeton will assist in identifying and recording items, including metal finds, pottery, and other pieces over 300 years old.

The exhibition, created by our local community and featuring nearly 2,000 forget-me-not flowers, is open to all who wish to visit and participate until February 9th 2025.
