Saturday 24 September 2016 sees a free event in Clifton Country Park as part of the ‘Kingfisher Trail’

The free event is from 11:00am – 4:00pm, organisers say:

“Join us at Clifton Country Park as we gather together our friends from across the Kingfisher Trail and Greater Manchester for a day of fun in recognition of the wonderful Kingfisher Trail.

Activities include folk musicians, costumed storytelling, animal handling, guided walks, heritage information, green woodworking, willow weaving, scavenger hunts and wildlife surveys.

There will also be the grand uncovering of an old longboat from the canal by Salford Council volunteers, after decades buried in the mud.

No need to book, just turn up and join in the celebration!”
