Our monthly Sunday walks will take place on the following Sundays: 8th May; 12th June; 10th July and 14th August. Each walk lasts about an hour and they cover three different aspects of the cemetery: military, national maritime disasters and local history. To book, please phone Thurstaston Visitor Centre on 648 3884.
The Friends meet on the first Monday of each month at 7 pm at Earlston Library except for May, when it will be held on Tuesday 3rd because of the bank holiday. Anyone who has an interest in the cemetery is welcome to come to the meeting.
