Chorlton Arts Festival has been going since 2002. It has been run by different groups in different ways over the years. Chorlton Civic Society has organised the Festival since 2019 and it continues to be anchored in the community.
They believe that everyone should be accepted as an artist, irrespective of their capabilities, and that everyone should have access to local art, irrespective of their income. They want to enable schools, performers, artists, art groups, poets, writers, playwrights, musicians, dancers and any other type of artist from Chorlton or nearby, to share their work for the benefit of the community.
