September, 2019

Marton Historical Society & Project Marton have organised a family-friendly day at Marton Memorial Hall beginning with a Council re-enactment of the name change at 10.30am.

In the forecourt there'll be vintage cars & machinery and inside the hall there will be a butter churning and washing display alongside static displays showing Marton's history. Devonshire tea will be available, served in vintage cups - or bring your own tea set - and join in the fun.

The Marton Historic Village will also be open to the public throughout the day.
