Miller Fold Community Allotment family event – Big Butterfly Count and natural butterfly crafts
Wednesday, July 30, 2025 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm

Join us at Miller Fold Community Garden for some family-friendly fun! We’ll be taking part in the national Big Butterfly Count (a 15-minute snapshot of the butterflies that use our community garden) and creating some fabulous natural butterfly crafts. This will be followed by a light community lunch, created by us from produce in the garden, to celebrate our bountiful harvest and hard work this year.
Everyone is welcome. This is a free, family-friendly event. Under 18s must be accompanied by an adult. Snacks and hot/cold drinks will be provided.
Location: Miller Fold Community Allotment, off Woodview Drive, BB5 ONT
Meeting place: The junction between Woodview Drive and Miller Fold Avenue (what3words: stooping.conquests.topping)

Please wear robust footwear and dress for the weather.
The closest bus stop is ‘St Oswalds RC’, which is a 3-minute walk away and is served by the A1 bus service from Accrington.
