Music & Art: In an innovation for this year's festival, there is a "Music and Art Workshop", championed by local artist and keen music consumer Ian Ecclestone. Ian will be asking participants to share in the creation of several music-inspired paintings that may represent the shared pleasures of community, music, and art. This will take place on Saturday 21st March, from 2pm.

For the record, this event will be followed by a great music gig featuring much respected individuals who have participated in every Congleton music festival of the last 17 years, specifically The Hoochie Coochie Boys - Cry Baby is having a break.
