Littleborough Arts Festival 2016
This was our most successful festival to date with over 2,200 taking part literally from 5 to 85.
The schools, the Townswomens Guild, St. Barnabas Church, the Coach House, Ebor Studios
and others all took part in a festival that had something for everyone. The partnership with
Rochdale Literature and Ideas Festival worked well and for the first time we had a theatre
production.
The highlight was undoubtedly the Lantern Parade in Hare Hill Park which proved a magical
experience for hundreds of children. It was the first time we have employed a professional
artist and Jo Gornall really made a difference.
We are a very small committee and to put on an event of this size stretched us all, when we
have recovered we will be looking at making it even better next year.
Littleborough Arts Festival 2017 - Provisional Dates 14th-21st October
Our next event is the Woollen Woods 13th and 14th May 2017. This is a fun way to bring craft
