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. Best of all, entry to the festival is completely free!

Chorlton’s Big Green Festival launched in April 2009 with an estimated 4,000 people joining in the green festivities. CBFG 2012 expects an even bigger response! Each year the festival activities are based on a different theme and 2012 is no exception to the rule. Following the 2011 ‘Bike to the Future’ theme, which saw many 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.
