Chorlton's Big Green Festival 2012 -Saturday March 31st @ St Clement's Church
Chorlton's Big Green Festival is an annual celebration of sustainable living in Manchester which offers a vibrant mix of live music and performance, hands-on practical workshops, food and drink, arts and swaps, and much more. Chorlton’s Big Green Festival launched in April 2009 with an estimated 4,000 people joining in
the green festivities. Each year the festival activities are based on a different theme and 2012 is no exception to the rule. Following 2011 ‘Bike to the Future’ theme, which saw over 50 local residents take to the streets for the green bike parade, the team at Green Chorlton have this year chosen ‘The World In Chorlton’ with a view to expand the festivals reach to other community and cultural groups.‘The World In Chorlton’ represents the celebration of all things local and cultural and promises a varied range of fantastic entertainment and activities for the whole family.

Chorlton's Big Green Festival 2010 - review
Chorlton's Big Green Festival 2010 was bigger and better than ever. Established favourites like the bike parade and the Ceilidh continued to draw crowds, while new additions like the Scarecrow Competition and the fashion show proved a hit with young and old alike. You can check out the official video of Chorlton's Big Green Festival 2010 on YouTube:
We estimate that over 3,000 people came on Saturday, April 4th 2009 to the first Chorlton's Big Green Festival. Starting with a colourful bike parade through Chorlton and ending at midnight with a Ceilidh, the whole day was a fantastic success. The mix of food and craft stalls, talks, workshops and music worked really well. There are over 120 great photos taken at the festival by Gareth Hacking at:
