Chorlton Arts Festival is back …… May 17th to May 26

 Yep, Chorlton Arts Festival is back, with another exciting mix of cultural events, spanning art, literature, drama, and music.*

Along with our annual book festival it is one of the things that marks Chorlton out as something a bit special.

And last night the week was launched in the presence of the Lord Mayor, civic dignitaries, patrons of the festival and friends.

Four young musicians from Chorlton High school performed a selection of songs and there was a tribute to Ed Wylie one of the founders of the festival.

Leaving me just to point you in the direction of the link to Festival’s site, and in preparation for all that is to come suggest you read up on the history of the event and look at pictures a stories spanning the full 24 years of its existence at Chorlton Arts Festival ...... the history.**
