What's Your Story, Chorley? *CANCELLED*

Update – Following government advice on Coronavirus, the decision has been made to cancel this event. The health and safety of attendees, volunteers and contributors are the top priority. The book benches that have been created this year will still be installed across Chorley town centre so that people can do the book bench trail as and when current circumstances allow.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your interest in What’s Your Story, Chorley? and hope to see you at future events as and when the current situation allows.

 

 

A fantastic festival of words and fun for all the family including reading, writing and storytelling. Suitable for people of all ages.
