Chorlton displayed wonderful, vibrant windows in the run up to Christmas, 2021.

The Chorlton Traders’ Cup was awarded to Tiny’s Tipple.

The Mary Paul Cup for Beech Road was awarded to Love Lucy.

This account will tell you all about the window selection and both Runners Up and Highly Commended.

We are thinking of having an after dark selection next year.

Thankyou to everyone who decorated their windows and gave Chorlton much needed cheer.

Chorlton Arts Festival will take place from April 29th – May 29th 2022. It is 20 years since the first Chorlton Arts Festival, and Chorlton Voice has been running the Festival since 2019 – so this is a special year and we are expecting to have lots of activities. The 2021 Festival was a great success with 115 events – read what people said here. Let’s make 2022 even better. Follow us on Facebook, Twitter @chorltonarts or Instagram @chorlton.arts

Sign up forms are now open for Artists, Venues and Volunteers. Click here or pop along to www.chorltonarts.org and sign up. Deadline for artists is February 15th. Any queries contact Peter at events@chorlotnarts.org

Come along to our stall, outside the community garden on Saturday November 20th 10.00 – 16.00 to discover what volunteering opportunities there are with Chorlton Voice, Chorlton Arts and the friends of the Community Garden

Tell us what you think should happen to the Community Garden as we try to restore it, how you might use it and what part you could play in its restoration. See the picture to see its sorry state just now.

We hope to see you there.

We are collaborating with other groups in chorlton to renovate and bring back into use the little gem of a green space next to the Library. At the moment it is closed for health and safety reasons, but over the years it has become overgrown and is quite a tangle now.

What would you like to see in this space – have your say by completing the short questionnaire at  https://forms.gle/sKQvpAuw2E4q1Rok8  or pick up a paper copy in the Library.

As we slowly come out restrictions due to COVID-19 we are planning autumn activities for Chorlton Voice. Until then, the Committee will continue to meet online.

The Chorlton Arts Festival will take place 11-19th September.
