Last year we welcomed over 10,000 visitors! Santa greeted over 150 children in 3 grottos (he’s magic!). There were over 80 stalls in the Christmas market and 180+ people jumped into our snow globe. We had 30 elves and reindeer helping and live music to entertain and of course the legendary parade!

The Frodsham Solar project has reached a key milestone with the submission of an application for a Development Consent Order to the Planning Inspectorate on 30th May 2025.
There is always something special about Spring. After the long, dark nights and cold days of the winter, the growth in nature gives us hope for the year ahead. We are so lucky in Frodsham to be surrounded by beautiful countryside and within our community we have green spaces where we can enjoy changes of the seasons.
When the daffodils start to flower along the road between Frodsham and Helsby, known to many as “The Golden Mile”, it is the sign that Spring is on the way. The scheme was the brainchild of the then Chair of Frodsham Town Council, the late Maureen Turner. The Council agreed to purchase the first bulbs. Volunteers were needed to plant the bulbs and Maureen contacted Ron Sayle, then Group Scout Leader of 4th Frodsham Scouts. First planting was in Autumn 1999, ready for Millennium. Since then, Ron, with scouts from 3rd and 4th Frodsham, family members, local councilors and more recently community volunteers, have given their time for us all to enjoy the golden haze. Last year, KDE Ltd made a very generous donation to boost the number of bulbs for planting. Ron will be celebrating 25 years of organizing this beautiful show – many thanks Ron
Sowing seeds from seed catalogues or garden centres makes a promise for the summer ahead that your garden, allotment or even a tub will be fruitful. Try sweet peas, for their gorgeous perfume, or a mix of tomatoes; favourites like red Gardeners Delight or wee yellow Cherry varieties like Sungold.
