Walking Day is held in high esteem by the people of the Stretton Parish and surrounding areas. The historic background of walking days dates back to the early 1880′s.
Please come and join us in this wonderful traditional event for the local community. The procession will be led by the Mayor of Warrington and the Rev Elaine Chegwin Hall, accompanied by local Brownies, Cubs and Scouts, along with children, parents and staff from St Matthew’s School and Pre-School.
