Welcome to Whatsin-Wilmslow



Whatsin-wilmslow lists local amenities, childcare, schools, local resources, events, dining, local business and hotels for Wilmslow, Alderley Edge, Prestbury and the surrounding area...

Life in the Golden Triangle of Wilmslow, Prestbury and Alderley Edge
With claims of more Champagne flowing in Alderley Edge, more Aston Martin's bought from Stratstone's of Wilmslow and more Millionaires per square mile in Prestbury, than anywhere else in the country, what more is needed to illustrate the levels of opulence that can be witnessed here on every street corner. It was no coincidence that the Beckham's chose to live in this area and that MTV had a TV Series 'Living on the Edge,' showing the privileged offspring who try and convince the rest of us that they are just normal teenagers with genuine feelings and growing-up pains. Hopefully, Whatsin-Wilmslow can help the remainder of us discover and enjoy the true rewards of living in such a privilged area of the country.

TATTON MP George Osborne has been nominated for top business award

Shadow Chancellor George Osborne, the Conservative MP for Tatton, has been nominated for the Forum of Private Business’s (FPB’s) 2008 business-friendly MP/MEP award, which is being sponsored by England’s Regional Development Agencies.

Over the past year, Mr Osborne has campaigned against the Government’s planned Capital Gains Tax increase, commissioned a report from the European School of Management into the state of small businesses in the UK and launched a deregulation taskforce with celebrity businessman Doug Richards, of the BBC’s Dragons’ Den fame. He has also set out plans for tax reforms, and formed the New Enterprise Council, an advisory body featuring many of the UK’s top entrepreneurs.

The accolade, sponsored by England’s Regional Development Agencies (RDAs), recognises the work of the MPs and MEPs who have excelled in understanding and representing the needs of smaller businesses over the past year.


Lindow Man will make an historic return to the area on loan from the British Museum

Much about the local Iron Age history of Wilmslow was uncovered with discovery of Lindow Man, in Lindow Moss. Preserved in the peat bogs for 2000 years, Lindow Man is one of the most important Iron Age finds in the country. Despite a campaign to keep Lindow Man in the area, he was transferred to the British Museum and is a central feature of the Iron Age exhibition. Lindow Man will be returning to Manchester Museum in April 2008 for one year long exhibition.


 'Lights Out Gives Sight to Children' Campaign.
On my way to the Wilmslow Business Group meeting on the radio was a Campaign asking for just 62p a week to adopt a child so that they could be given the gift of sight.

I had just spent an hour in the company of Wendy Diddams the Optometrist in Knutsford who had herself spent 3 months as part of a project to restore sight to children in Africa.
