Chorlton's Big Green Festival was founded to help people learn about sustainable living and nowhere is this more important than in the workshops and information stalls. CBGF workshops provide practical and interactive demonstrations ranging from the likes of community group Rubbish Revamped who have taught festival-goers how to make ornaments out of recycled items and Cracking Good Food who have provided interactive cooking demonstrations at past events.

This years workshops range from well-being demos to dance classes to discussion groups and much more. Information stalls, staffed by local community groups and charities throughout the day, are another mainstay of the festival and show how everyone can live more sustainably and get more involved in local causes.

We offer fun and friendly workshops in a relaxed and sociable environment. Book a workshop for yourself and a friend too so that you can have fun indulging your creativity together. You have the opportunity to gain a more in depth knowledge of sewing, felt making, weaving, natural dyeing, rag rugging, recycled crafts, spinning and lots more.

Join us in our light and airy Chorlton garden studio and make the most of our custom built, well equipped studio full of inspirational books and examples for you to peruse.
