Alderley Edge Festival – 2019

For more than a hundred years Alderley Edge Festival has been a delightful event for people in Cheshire. As Maria Rushton, one of the organises of the Festival-2019 said, “There’s an element of competition but this is much more about bringing people together to share their enjoyment of performing.” A lot of local schools embraced an opportunity to join the ‘wonderful culture of music, speech and drama’ and some of the children won top awards during the festival.

Making Memories

With our increasingly busy and fast paced lives it can be hard to fit in and organize quality time with family and friends. Juggling work, meal times, after school activities and running the home, we are often exhausted both mentally and physically so coming up with inspiration for things to do can often be a challenge.
Big Top Parties offers fun filled, family friendly, traditional children’s parties for kids of all ages. It helps parents to spend stress free quality time, enjoy the party and create an unforgettable experience for children, their friends and family.
