WELCOME to the Happy Valley 'Arts' pages. In this set
I hope to cover all art forms that are active and, indeed,
thriving in Bollington. There are so many arts based groups
in Bollington - it is commonly noted that the town is exceptional
in the breadth and quality of artistic achievement; quite
unlike any other place of similar size (see box, right).
Most, but not all, of the performing arts are based at
the Bollington Arts
Centre (BAC) in Wellington Road. The BAC
has its own web site
which
provides information on their forthcoming programme. This
includes external amateur and professional performers as
well as Bollington groups.
The lists below attempt to identify every arts based group
and individual artist in Bollington. If you know of others please
let me know. Each of the groups has one or more pages
in this set as well as a short entry in the Organisations pages
(which are mainly for contact purposes). Individual artists
and performers also have a page in this set if I have sufficient
information. Those performing professionally may also have
an entry in the Business pages.
