We aim to run task mornings and events during the year in Torkington park. We have also started task mornings in the Hazel Grove War Memorial Garden over the last couple of years to give it a little TLC.

We will be busy over August and September restoring benches in the Hazel Grove War Memorial Garden and also in the Secret Garden in Torkington Park. Check out the pictures in the Gallery. If you would like to help, please get in touch at torkingtonpark@yahoo.com or on Facebook – @torkingtonpark.
