Farmers Market

The Wirral Farmers Market has become one of the most successful markets in the North West. It is held on the second Saturday of every month in the Village Hall. Although initially set up with support from NFRAG, the market is now run by its own individual committee. You can find out more on their own website: http://wirralfarmersmarket.iccommunities.co.uk/

Friends of New Ferry Park and Open Spaces

We are currently setting up a new sub-group who will co-ordinate action to seek funding for New Ferry Park, Shorefields and Mayfields Open Spaces. This is an exciting new way to get involved in improving your local environment. We will soon be getting together with English Nature and other representatives to sort out who should tidy up the New Ferry Shoreline, which is one of our most important assets. More
