Jane Thomson, Chair of Prestwich Arts Festival said: “We’re thrilled to be back once again with our sixth Prestwich Arts Festival.

“This year’s line-up celebrates some of our town’s world-famous talent, but also showcases the amazing younger generations and new artists making waves in the community.

“We’re looking forward to welcoming everyone this September whether you’re coming to watch or join in, maybe trying something new for the first time.

“I’d like to say thank you to all our supporters, funders and volunteers that have made it possible for us to put on this festival for the people of Prestwich.”
