Annual Arts Festival
Littleborough Arts Festival 2012
The Littleborough Coach House once again hosts the Arts Festival, now in its 11th year This year it's again a 9-day event, open to the public from Saturday August 25th to Sunday September 2nd inclusive.
As well as looking at the pictures in the exhibition upstairs, both framed & unframed (the majority of which are for sale), you can look at, & vote for your favourite photograph in the photography competition downstairs, see a display of pottery made by local schoolchildren, & read their poetry. The theme for the photographs, poems & pottery this year is provisionally "Teamwork".
Workshops are again being planned for all the family this year, no need to book on most occasions - just turn up at the appointed time & place.
Littleborough Arts Festival supports Springhill Hospice & each year it strives to give a substantial amount to that very worthy organisation (£800 in 2011). This year is no exception so there is likely to be an "entrance fee" for which you can make unlimited visits during the week. All artists exhibiting also agree to donate a percentage of sales to the Hospice so we're hoping to be able to give it another "bumper cheque" this year.
Every weekday afternoon during the Festival local pianists will be playing upstairs in the Harvey Room to make your viewing experience even more pleasurable.
As soon as this year's timetable is finalised it will be put on the website.
