Be inspired by Greater Manchester's celebration of blossom
30 Mar 2023
The National Trust has launched its Bloomtown trail – 30 places to experience blossom in Manchester and Salford during April
Experience nature this spring and discover 'blossom hotspots' on your doorstep in Greater Manchester. There's lots of ways for you to get involved throughout April.
Organised by the National Trust and supported by CJ Wildlife and the People's Postcode Lottery, there’s lots of blossom to discover in and around Manchester. Whether walking through the city on your way to work, looking for things to do with children during the Easter holidays, or actively seeking out urban green spaces, the National Trust digital map shows you 30 of the best places to find blossom for free (available online from 1 April). You can also find recyclable paper copies of the Bloomtown map at Castlefield Viaduct, Central Library, New Century, Sadler's Cat, Pulp Coffee and local parks and community spaces.
Events and activities
As well as the Bloomtown trail, you can take part in a range of creative events and workshops.
