World Card Making Day Heart of the Heatons style!

Join us in your local Heaton to make a card on World Card Making Day that has a special message in about what you love about the Heatons. We will help you send your creation to a random address of someone in SK4 that you don’t know, spreading kindness and goodwill across the four Heatons!

Walk, Ride, Decorate The Heatons

This novel event, organised by Sustainable Living in the Heatons, The Good Life, and Walk Ride Heatons, offers activities to suit everyone!
  • Walkers: Come to The Good Life at 2pm, where you can make plant pots and mobiles from used cans, led by an experienced community artist, and follow this with a 60 minute walk along the River Mersey and the Heatons Link. Walk starts at 3pm for 1 hour.
  • Riders: To cycle the route of the Heatons Link, meet at The Good Life at 2pm, for a 5 mile ride that should take us about one hour. Afterwards join in the art workshop to make plant pots and mobiles.
  • Art workshop: If you just want to do the art workshop, join us at 2pm or 3pm.
Participants can choose to do the walk or the cycle ride with the art activity, or just the walk, cycle ride or art activity. Hot drinks and vegan cake for all participants in the art events!
