Now you've seen our plans, please tell us what you think!

Join us as we look for evidence of Oldknow's industrial heritage in Marple

Natasha Lolljee talks about her favourite item from the Oldknow Archive

Ever wondered how lime kilns work? This once in a lifetime chance sees us build, fill and light a lime kiln, in the shadow of Marple's Lime Kilns

Learn the traditional skill of mixing hot lime mortar and use it to build a wall!

Join a local geologist for this two-hour moderate walk and deepen your understanding of this picturesque canal and its landscape.

Discover the wild flowers and birds that live around the canal with our interactive pushchair friendly walks.

Get a glimpse into the rarely seen world of dusk wildlife.

Calling all early birds!
