Stretford town centre light switch on | Saturday 15th November
Get ready, Stretford! This year, we're making history with our very first town centre Christmas Light Switch-On event!
We're buzzing to announce that the next Creative Stretford Socials will be hosted in collaboration with the incredible arts students from Trafford College!
 
            A great opportunity to showcase their creations to friends, family and a whole host of fellow Stretford creatives, the Trafford College students will be displaying their work in the former Calm Connections unit for all to see.
With a mix of work from Higher education and Further education students, the exhibition will include fine art, graphic design, photography and art & design and the end of year show will celebrate all of the fab grassroots talent and budding artists from in and around Trafford.
There will also be some light refreshments on offer for attendees. Grab your tickets HERE.
