Following the cancellation and proposed rescheduling of the Manningham Family Festival and Walk for Youth Mental Health, we have discussed alternatives with the Council and the date chosen is Sunday 28 February 2027. This doesn’t clash with any other community events and is several weeks before our Charity Fundraising Golf Day which is on Friday 19 March 2027.
