Hixon Millennium Green The Venue for Community Events
A Safe Place to Play and Enjoy
Hixon Millennium Green Trust is a Registered Charity (No (1073477). The Trust is managed by unpaid volunteer Trustees.
Hixon Millennium Green was opened on January 1st 2000 as part of a nationwide network of Millennium Greens that are protected open spaces for 1,000 years. Trustees are charged with the responsibility of maintaining the Green for public use and community events.
What We Do
Hixon Millennium Green is situated at the heart of the village of Hixon in Staffordshire. The Green is mainly grass and is an ideal venue for community events. Each year Trustees organise a village fete to raise funds towards maintenance costs. Other events include big screen cinema evenings, Easter Egg hunts and national celebrations.
