I WANT to thank all the organisations involved with Sale Festival this year, we had some excellent feedback about all our events which we held in various venues across Sale for the whole of June.

There is no doubt that Sale is full of talented people.

We have renowned professional musicians, first class choirs, stunning amateur dramatic groups, photography groups , our own Sale brass band ,professional and amateur artists specialising in painting, ceramics ,jewellery ,graphics,woodwork. The list is endless.

We did have some outside productions. The Welsh Ballet company was a new event for us this year along with the Beatles tribute group, both were hugely successful and our thanks to the Waterside Arts Centre for its support

Sale festival is all about bringing together all that talent and having a platform through Sale Festival to perform for a wide audience

We are now planning for next year’s Sale festival and look forward to hearing from groups who would like to be involved

Thank you to all of you who were involved and also the fantastic audiences who supported all our events
