The 2024 Chorley Flower Show was a big success for the Friends of Astley Park. Helped by generally good weather over the three days we certainly attracted a lot of interest at our stall and this was helped by the Friends’ award winning nearby Community Garden that showcased our work.
The painting raffle was particularly popular due to the very attractive artwork prize which was won by Natasha Clark from Bolton who was thrilled to be the recipient. We also signed up five new members to help us with our important work in the Park. All the effort in preparing our exhibits and staffing them by our volunteers paid off. So, a big debt of gratitude is owed to them. Below are just three of our volunteers pictured with Chorley’s MP, Lindsay Hoyle.
