Trafford Wordfest
Trafford Council is currently hosting a four-week celebration of literature, Trafford Wordfest, which began last Monday. All events are literature-related, and range from informative sessions on how to get your work noticed by publishers, to interactive poetry performance workshops, and a Chicken Licken puppet show for 3-6 year olds!
Events are being held at Sale Waterside Arts Centre and surrounding libraries, as well as many other venues across the borough. Although many events are free, booking is essential.
You can find specific details of events, plus information on how to get tickets, by following this link to the festival homepage.
