Leigh residents are being urged to come along and find out more about running an allotment at an open day being held next month.

The allotments at Manchester Drive in Leigh will be open to the public on Sunday July 6 for the third annual event to be held there.

There will be a wide range of activities available, including tours of the plots to see how allotments can be maintained.

In addition, there will be two nature trails, suitable for children and adults, a demonstration of allotment machinery, mowers, strimmers and rotavators.

The event starts at 11am and goes on until 4pm.
