Welcome to COLLECT: a memory capture project for the Memorial Hall in Northwich, Cheshire. Our intention is to create a lasting legacy of the Memorial Hall ahead of its closure next year. A number of key partners have offered their support on this initiative. They are the Regeneration team at Weaver Valley Partnership, Cheshire Dance, Weaver Hall Museum, Chester Records Office, DAN Community Arts Ltd, Brio-Leisure and Mid Cheshire College.

Memorial Court Hoardings Project

As part of the Collect: Memorial Capture Project, poet Dominic Berry is working with children from Witton Church Walk Primary School, University of Chester Academy Northwich (UCAN) and the Age UK OPEL group to write poems based on the past and future of the Memorial Hall. Some of the poems will be used to decorate the hoardings around the new Memorial Court whilst under construction.

In the future we will dive and swim in wonderful, warm waters.
Come with your friends and join in with the fun, splash and play all day long.
Get wet - no one will care,
Get chlorine all in your hair!
And when our fun has come to an end...
We know we'll be back again!
