TAKING NOTICE OF
CHAPEL'S ATTRACTIONS

Motorists approaching Chapel-en-le-Frith are
being invited to take notice of the town’s many attractions.
New tourist boards at all five entrances to the ancient Capital of
the Peak carry reminders that the town has a wide range of
shops, restaurants and pubs, as well as excellent
opportunities for leisure pursuits.
The new signs are the latest project by the town’s Regeneration
Partnership, which has received financial help from HPBC’s
“Going Local” fund. Partnership chair Cllr. Mike Smith, says:
“We want to remind visitors to the Peak District that Chapel
has much to offer. For sports enthusiasts, we not only have a
state-of-the-art leisure centre, but also golf and sailing
clubs in idyllic surroundings. For a town of its size, Chapel
has a remarkable selection of quality eating places and its
shops range from specialist independent retailers to in-town
supermarkets. |

On top of all
this, we have an attractive “Old Town” area and lots of
well-established annual events that can be enjoyed by visitors
and residents alike.”
One of the panels in the new signs will be used to advertise
traditional events such as the annual carnival, the five
well-dressings, Proms in the Park and the Christmas lights.
First up is May Day, a fun day for all the family, which will
take place in the Market Place on May 3rd. |
