Chapel Allerton Arts Festival 2009... is over!

Thanks go to all the stewards for manning the gates and collecting donations, the street crew for keeping the streets how we like them, the stage crew for making live music look so easy, the activities gang, street entertainers and the stall holders for giving 2 car parks and the Methodist Centre a carnival atmosphere, the food stallholders for feeding us, the security staff and the police for keeping us all safe, the bands for giving their all and the first aiders for being there if we fall.

And many thanks to all of you who came this year and for your contributions. The money collected in the buckets makes up nearly half of the costs and is vital to funding the event.

The festival is run entirely by volunteers. If you would like to volunteer some of your time, please get in touch. We would be delighted if you could spare just a few hours over the weekend as a steward or, if you would like to get more involved, you may wish to join one of the groups which organises the event. If you let us know your email address (click here), we will contact you next year when the next festival is in our sights.

Do you have any comments about this year's event? Maybe suggestions of what you would like to see more of or what could be improved? If so, send us a message.

See you in 2010!
