Community open day to mark birthday celebrations

Padeswood works is 70 this year and we are celebrating with a community open day on Saturday June 29. 

Like previous events, there will be a host of activities for all the family to enjoy. These include dodgems, archery, face painting, a classic car and bike show, a visit from North Wales Owl Sanctuary and music from Northop Silver Band. 

Mold Fire and Rescue will also be attending and there will be tours of the site, which is part-way through a £24 million investment programme, on our land train and Trevor the Tram.

“We would like as many people as possible to come along and help raise money for The Wales Air Ambulance as well as Action for Children, North Wales, which is our chosen charity for 2019,” said works manager Murat Burakcin.

“Last year’s open day was a huge success – despite the best efforts of the British weather – and we raised an incredible £3,000 for charity. We are hoping we can do even better this year.”

The event is free to enter and gates open at 10.30am.
