🌟 Why It Matters

These free events are more than just fun days out — they’re part of a wider effort to support local businesses, boost footfall in the town centre, and create a stronger sense of community.

Every event is open to everyone, and whether you come for lunch, stay all afternoon, or just stop by while shopping, your presence helps support the local economy and keep Wilmslow thriving.
