Welcome to Neston News and Neston Life

Click here to view in your browser.

One of the highlights of lockdown for many people has been the opportunity to take walks in the lovely countryside we have around us.  Mr AMA (aka Dean Munday) has certainly been making the most of it and captured this week's header shot in Burton Woods recently.
 
Neston Recreation Centre re-opens on Saturday, with everything in place to keep you safe. Find out more here.
 
Neston Market is picking up more and more, with new stalls coming in as well as old favourites returning, so please do pop down and give them your support - Friday from 8am to 2pm.
 
Old Oaks Farm and Willaston Community Farm have continued their farm shop services post-lockdown, with both offering a great range of foodstuffs and other products.  They and all the other local suppliers that we all came to rely on over the past few months really do deserve our continued support, so please try to shop local as much as you can.
 

Have a great week,

Carrie & the AboutMyArea & Neston Life Team
