Due to the ongoing Corona virus pandemic Monk Hesleden Parish Council has reluctantly made the decision to cancel this year’s Remembrance Day Services at Blackhall Welfare Park and Hesleden Cemetery.

The Parish Council also recognises members of the public may still wish to pay their respects on the day and therefore the memorial at Blackhall Welfare Park will be open and accessible to visitors between 9.00 am and 4.00 pm on Sunday 8 November 2020, Hesleden Memorial has open access. We would encourage members of the public wishing to pay their respects to be mindful of social distancing and current guidelines at all times. It is therefore advised that visits should be made throughout the day.
