Village Directory

This page is based on the "What's On In Milton" directory which was first published in 1997. The preface of the last paper edition read as follows:

This booklet is intended as a guide to all the activities available in Milton. It's not until you read this booklet that you realise what a large number and variety of activities take place regularly in the village and we think that it shows that Milton continues to be a healthy and thriving community.

Inevitably some of the entries in here will become out of date. If you do come across any mistakes, omissions, or anything that needs changing, please let us know.
