The First Celebrate Fleetwood Day in 2019

Bank Holiday Monday 6 May 2019 in the Euston Gardens

The Town Council is proud to support the efforts of this group who installed the new statue of the town’s founder in 2018. This new event is a community celebration of Heritage, History and Culture, starting with a performance from Fleetwood Old Boys band.

“Fleetwood Day” promoted Fleetwood to local residents and visitors alike, celebrating the town’s unique history.

Lots going on all day, in a free day of entertainment, from various musical acts in the marquee to lots of activities and displays in the garden.

• Fleetwood Ukulele band,
• Scold’s Bridle (folk duo),
• Ian Midgley (keyboard player for an hour’s ballroom/sequence dancing)
• Chique (female singing duo),
• maypole dancing demo from Shakespeare school
• displays from various Fleetwood youth groups,
• a pop up museum by Friends of Fleetwood Museum
• not forgetting Punch and Judy!
• and lots more..

The road between the gardens and the Euston was closed for a classic car display. Plus tables to promote what goes on in Fleetwood from societies to youth groups.

A Red Wheel Plaque for Fleetwood

After more than two years of work with the Transport Trust, North Euston Hotel and Wyre Council planning department, a prestigious Red Wheel Plaque was unveiled on Fleetwood Day, Monday 6 May 2019.

These plaques are awarded to locations with outstanding links to early transport history. The town has much noble transport history. The North Euston Hotel played a significant role in helping to develop the early West coast route to Scotland in the 1840s. Rail travellers stayed overnight before boarding the steamer to Ardrossan.

Few such plaques exist in West Lancashire – Lancaster and Merseyside being the nearest. It’s excellent news that the part Fleetwood played has been recognised. The unveiling will be another highlight of Fleetwood Day, with music and entertainment from 10am in Euston Park.

The unveiling will take place alongside the main door to the North Euston Hotel at noon.
