Withington Civic Society


Protecting and improving Ladybarn, Withington and Old Moat

Welcome to the Withington Civic Society website.

The Society's aim is to protect and improve the environment and amenities of Withington, Ladybarn and Old Moat in Manchester, UK.

Withington is an attractive area with a long history thought to date back to Saxon times. It is now a thriving district of south Manchester, with a diverse population and a village centre which is a
Conservation Area.


The Civic Society has been playing an active part in the area for more than 30 years and has provided a focus for celebrating our heritage and ensuring that it is preserved and enhanced for the coming years.

The Society welcomes new members
and new ideas. We offer an opportunity to take a positive role in building the future of the area for all residents and visitors. If you care about Withington, we encourage you to support the Society and to become involved in our activities. Visit the Membership Page for details.
