Visit to local Allotments and Community Garden
CEF is very grateful to the Churchfield Allotment Project and to Churchfield Community Trust who are facilitating an optional visit to the nearby allotments and to the garden in Blackpool after the Seminar at 1pm. Churchfield Community Trust will also open up the Community Cafe where refreshments may be purchased. It would be useful for both projects to get an indication of how many people would like to visit, please register your interest. 

Limited parking will be availabe near the centre and the nearby Church of the Resurrection, however, the Centre is just a 10 minute walk from Blackpool Shopping Centre Car Park. See here for map.

This is a Free event and all are welcome.
