Introduction
Our Festival drawing in schools from a wide area including Cheshire, Manchester, Tameside and Bolton is the highly-successful descendant of our original project. Some of our schools have been with us since the start of the project five years ago.
We are very grateful to the Royal Exchange and its vibrant Education Department, and in particular to Philip Lord and Amanda Dalton for their support. We hope to develop an even closer relationship over the next few years.
This year there are some fourteen schools involved. The schools are:
- Dee Point, Primary, Chester
- Dorin Park Special School, Chester
- St Chad’s, Manchester
- Irk Valley, Manchester
- Cannon Burrows, Tameside
- Shavington, Crewe,
- Hungerford, Crewe
- Havannah, Congleton
- Chorley New Road, Bolton
- Chapel Street, Manchester
- St Marys, Middlewich
- Willaston, West Cheshire, and
- Hurdsfield, Macclesfield
The performances are on Friday 1st and Friday 15th June at 2pm.
