Harvest History Woodland Walk in Bailey's Wood

Join us for a woodland walk with stories and folklore of the harvest, celebrating the farming heritage of Bailey's Wood. This walk is suitable for all ages, but under 16s must be accompanied by an adult. Meet at the Grange Park Road entrance to the woods.

This event is part of the Friends of Bailey's Wood Harvest Day, showcasing the farming history and heritage of Blackley and Bailey's Wood. It's a free event, and part of Heritage Open Days 2025.
