Crewe Day, which takes place on 4th July, commemorates the anniversary of the first trains passing through Crewe Station, during the opening of the Birmingham to Manchester and Liverpool line on 4 July 1837. This is a key moment in the town’s industrial heritage.To a lot of people, Crewe is the place you change trains or a stop on a journey to somewhere else. It’s somewhere you’ve passed through but never had a reason to explore. But Crewe is amazing – it’s a place that deserves to be celebrated for its community, heritage and unique identity!
Crewe Day Festival is a vibrant town-wide event that will be built with the people of Crewe at its heart.
