ESTABLISHED 1980
THE LEGACY OF WORM CHARMING
Worm charming began in Willaston in 1980 and is now a unique tradition and a key school fundraiser for the FWSA in support of Willaston Primary Academy. The first winner, Tom Shufflebotham charmed 511 worms from a plot locally, and enthusiasts from around the world travel to join in with this tradition. Join us for a day of energetic and whimsical competition and celebrate our community!
