Head to Heaton Park for the launch of Bloomtown, the National Trust’s celebration of blossom, this Saturday.

Pick up a Bloomtown map to find out more about blossom spots across Greater Manchester, then enjoy free family activities from 11am–3pm, including haiku postcard printing and storytelling. You can also decorate your bike with Bee Pedal Ready and take a ride around the park.

To mark World Poetry Day, join a guided poetry walk with Oak & Pen Tours (booking required). Find the Bloomtown pop-up near the Animal Centre by the Stables Café.
