Well Dressing

A brief history of Well Dressing
The Well Dressing is celebrated at St. Chad’s Well at the heart of Chadkirk Country Estate. The tradition of dressing springs and wells with pictures made from petals, leaves and other materials, dates back to Celtic times.
 

Talented volunteers
Each year a talented and enthusiastic team of volunteers from across Stockport design and make the Well Dressing. It takes four days to complete and will last a week, before the clay dries and the flowers fade.

Why not take part?
This year’s Community Pyramid has been designed by the Young Well Dressers Group and volunteers from Youth.Culture.Stockport.

Next year why not drop in and have a go. Well Dressing preparation starts mid July each year.

Entry to the making of the Well Dressing is FREE.
A small donation towards the flowers is welcome.
Groups must book in advance due to limited space. for 2012 information please call 0161 477 6517.
