We are holding a Heritage Open Day and Family Fun Day at St Mary's on Sept 13th 2025. We will be sharing more over the next week about what will be happening on the day. Why not come and join us!
To say that these performances were inspirational might be an understatement - so full of life and heart, they were amazing. Very proud to have done the historical research that formed the foundation for their creation😍🏳️🌈

Can anyone put me in touch with the family of Ray Ball please - well known Runcorn photographer who had a studio on Bridge St. It's in relation to a local heritage project - any help/contacts would be very much appreciated, thank you!😀📷
