Saturday 14th May to Friday 27th May - ‘A Little Town of Artists’
Littleborough is a place of great creativity and artistic talent. To celebrate this, we will be exhibiting a series of artworks by local artists in many of the windows and interiors of our local shops and cafes. Whilst out on your weekly shop, please take a moment to enjoy the variety of work on display.
We would also like to invite you to join in and show off your creations in your own windows. If you are in need of inspiration to get you started then we have created some colouring sheets of local landmarks that will be available to collect from Littleborough Library.

No booking needed, just drop by and join in. The activity is free and materials are provided: we just need children, accompanying adults and some big smiles.
Friday 27th May 7pm - Beasts, boggarts and nature’s wonders
Hare Hill House

Enchantment, wonder, seduction, treachery and deceit! Traditional tales take us on journeys through our own hopes, fears and delights. At Hare Hill House, storytellers Jennie Bailey and Gordon MacLellan will take us into a world full of stories with tales from the hills and moors of Lancashire to the cold edges of the world and the heart of tropical deserts.
Stories from the floor: we will have a limited number of places for contributions from the audience so if you have a tale, or a poem or other spoken word piece to share, let us know when you get to the door and we will fit in as many new voices as we can!
