The Frodsham & District Association was founded in 1989 to help promote and support the work of the National Trust and to increase members’ enjoyment of the Trust by organising social activities.
Our 100 members come from the Frodsham, Helsby, Northwich, Runcorn, Winsford and Warrington areas. The programme, of talks and outings take place throughout the year. The highlights of our 29th Year in 2018 included visiting Lancaster Priory Church, Castle & City Museum, Shugborough Estate, St Asaph Cathedral, Bodrhyddan Hall & Sudbury Hall and talks on Calendrical Curiosities, The History of the Longbow & The Woodland Trust.
Funds raised are mostly donated to specific projects at Trust properties in the region. Dunham Massey, Formby, Little Moreton Hall, Quarry Bank Mill, Speke Hall & the White Cliffs Appeal have received grants since 2014.
New members, or visitors, are always welcome at our Meetings. If you would like further information contact the Frodsham & District Association, or view our Programme of Events for 2019. [These links will open new windows].
