Centenary Gardens

Creative Tourist

The Centenary Gardens is a wonderful green space for the Old Trafford community to enjoy. It is maintained and cared for by donations and volunteers. Community members can book this space for special occasions.

The venue is wheelchair accessible. The closest tram is Trafford Bar and then a five-minute walk. Please note, there is no toilet on site – nearest toilets are the Sports Barn in Seymour Park and pubs and cafes within 5-10 minutes walk.

Should you wish to help fund the lovely people who maintain the garden then go to this page – http://donorbox.org/otcentenarygardens.
