Press Release: 25 August 2009
The wheels are in motion once again for the second Chorlton’s Big Green Festival, which will take place on Sat 27 March 2010. Nobody could have predicted the success of April’s festival which brought in more that 1,500 festival goers, and saw the likes of a bicycle parade around Chorlton, wheelie bin displays, a solar/wind powered sound system, swap shops and a foot stomping ceilidh, as well as guest speakers, eco workshops and live entertainment. The phenomenal turn out really brought it home that there is a huge desire within the community to tackle green issues head on and explore what choices we have, in making small changes to our lives.
Once again, the festival will aim to draw in local businesses, musicians, residents and organisations to make the day as fun packed and informative as possible, and to showcase all that is green in Manchester. We also aim to expand 2010’s festival by introducing an evening of guest speakers and holding an open forum on Thursday 25 March which will be followed by the main event, held on Saturday 27 March.
The first planning meeting for the festival is to be held at 7.30pm on Thursday 10 Sept at St Clement’s Church, Chorlton. We’re looking for as many enthusiastic volunteers as possible to get involved this year so we can generate new ideas and get some fresh perspectives. Let’s make the next festival bigger and better and accessible to all!
