Stretford Socials x The Big Draw Festival | Saturday 5th October 12-4pm
The Stretford Socials are back and this time we're teaming up with The Big Draw Festival, the world’s largest celebration of drawing! Join us in Stretford town centre for a fun-filled, free event that showcases how drawing can boost confidence, spark creativity, and improve well-being, communication and engagement.
This year’s theme is ‘Drawing in Motion,’ and we’ll have a programme of free interactive workshops where you can get hands-on with pen, paint, or whatever medium sparks your creativity.
As always, we’ll showcase a fantastic lineup of local makers and bakers, including favourites like Urban Preserver and DLC Gifts. For the first time, Swig Coffee will be joining us, with their van stationed outside of the Chester Road entrance to fuel your creativity with delicious brews.
Get ready for a day filled with art, fun, and community!
