It's 20 YEARS AGO today that the Marple Website was first launched!

The Internet has changed beyond all recognition since the Marple Website was first launched on 6 October 1998. However, 20 years later, the main aims and objectives of the site remain true to the original: “to provide useful information for local people and potential visitors and to contribute to the fantastic community spirit that abounds in this small canal town on the edge of the peaks.”

Marple Poppy Appeal 2018

2017 was a record-breaking year for the newly formed Marple Poppy Appeal Team and an amazing sum of over £15,000 was raised for the Royal British Legion's Poppy Appeal.

2018 is an extra special year for the Poppy Appeal across the country as it is the Centenary of the End of WWI. The Marple Team are working even harder to build on last year's success.
