Links with the local community are extremely strong, with year round events ranging from a farmers' market on the last Sunday of the month to classic car shows on site. The centre is also involved with a longstanding local charity, the 'Romiley and Marple Lions Club', that runs iconic events such as the heavily subscribed annual 'Santa Dash'! For the young at heart, the ever-popular Dragon miniature steam railway runs around the grounds, whilst the staff are truly expert at organising fabulous seasonal celebrations that even include ghoulish Halloween feasts in the restaurant!
