Stanley Park Photographic Exhibition by the New Langdale Centre

The lovely people from the New Langdale Centre make a weekly contribution to Stanley Park, Blackpool.

Their Green Team works on environmental projects in the Woodland Gardens, while the Wildlife Photography Group is out and about taking pictures of the natural gems in our park.

The Wellbeing Group walk, collect litter, and make many friends (both with two and four legs!) while they do their weekly circuit.

Today, we've been putting up an exhibition in Stanley Park Visitor Centre which showcases the work of their talented photographers, plus pictures I have taken of each group out and about.

There are also pictures taken around Blackpool by the Thursday Photography Group.

The exhibition is open from tomorrow and will run for a month (Tuesday-Sunday inc). Please pop in and have a look.
