A 208-year-old tradition is set to make a return to Merseyside next week.
Neston Ladies Club Day will take place on Thursday, June 2, after having been postponed for the past two years owing to the pandemic. Organised by the Neston Female Society, the annual parade is the last one of its kind remaining in the UK, and the event continues to be a highly-anticipated date in the town’s diary.
Each year, members of the Female Society aged 16 and upwards, as well as more than 100 local children, parade through the streets of Neston in a celebration of the town's enduring sense of community. The society was founded in 1814, against the backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars.
