• Knowsley's heritage brought to life

The Heritage Marquee will be an exciting new addition at this year’s Knowsley Flower Show.

In the Heritage Marquee you can explore and celebrate Knowsley’s rich history and learn more about the borough’s fantastic, but often unknown past.

You will be able to take part in free, fun packed activities for all the family to enjoy.

There will be fascinating demonstrations of traditional skills such as wattle and daub and tile making and you can discover more about Knowsley’s special historic buildings by working with professional artists to create a piece of artwork to take home.

You will see Knowsley’s history brought to life by re-enactors, an exhibition by Prescot museum and archive film from as early as the 1920’s.

Come along and join us in looking forward to our future by celebrating our past. Everyone is welcome and all activities are free of charge.

It will run over two years and aims to enthuse local residents about the areas history.
