The fourth annual celebration of the arts in Chorlton, will see the return of the hugely popular Chorlton Ees Art Trail as well as other festival favorites.
These include, art exhibitions and films in bars, bands galore, theatre shows, dance performances and workshops and family events.
The Chorlton Ees Art Trail makes up a temporary art walk through a beautiful and tranquil part of Chorlton and organisers say to
For the eight days of the festival, no less than ten theatre companies, plus a world of music ranging from bhangra to rock, and an outdoor art trail will see Chorlton become a sure-fire rival to the city centre in terms of 'what's on'.
On Saturday 21 and Sunday, May 22, the popular Arts Market featuring local designers and makers, returns to the Chorlton Precinct car park.
Sunday, May 22 can only mean the friendly hubbub of Festival Sunday ' which will include a music stage, performance space and 'doing area', with junk sculptures and other family-friendly activities.
Other festival highlights include art exhibitions across many Beech Road and Wilbraham Road venues, a very special performance for the under-5s featuring child-sized puppets from the acclaimed M6 Theatre Company, and live video mixing from Hollowsphere and Lotta Contriva.

I am amazed and delighted to see Kristy Gosling's image accompanying the article on the Chorlton arts festival.
It is featured in print in this month's Aesthetica Magazine. There have been several artists that have been featured in Aesthetica from Manchester. What a creative and talented city! I am thrilled to find out about the festival as it sounds exactly like something that I would love to attend and to help organise. It's great to see so many creative elements joining together for one event. Well done!
