Competition: WIN a Chorlton Arts Festival package

Polly Checkland Harding

Enter our competition to WIN tickets for three fab events at the Chorlton Arts Festival.

Back for its fifteenth year is the Chorlton Arts Festival, a May-time mashup of music, art, theatre, comedy and performance. Included in the ten day run (15-24 May) are an exhibition of cartoons by Tony Husband from Private Eye, live performances from The Travelling Band and Young Knives, Twisted Fairytales from feminist collective Stirred Poetry, a vegan fair and a Tea Club that looks to be more performance than, er, tea. Perhaps the most exciting of the live lit events is Re/Place (20 May), where six acclaimed writers perform specially-created work that responds to the buildings and spaces around Chorlton. Rounding it all out is the Chorlton Arts Festival Weekender. So where does this giveaway come in?
