About Cheadle Arts

Cheadle Arts is the group of volunteers that run the Cheadle Arts Festival and other similar events designed to encourage participation in the arts. 

Art is for everyone...

Funding arrangements:

We receive a grant from Staffordshire Moorlands District Council, which is administered by Support Staffordshire. There are a lot of costs involved in putting on a festival, so we are also running fundraising events and are hugely grateful for sponsorship and donations.

A huge thank you to MJS Transport, Hales Hall and Cllr Paul Keeling for supporting the event financially.

One of the aims of the Cheadle Arts Festival is to showcase Cheadle as a creative town, and an enjoyable town to shop and visit. We are grateful to local businesses for their support and hope that the arts festival benefits them.
