The villages of Burwardsley, Cholmondeley, Tattenhall, Bunbury and Malpas run alongside the Sandstone Ridge and will hold events against the backdrop of some of Cheshire's oldest prettiest villages and stunning landscapes.

The Sandstone Ridge Trust is also supporting the Festival.

Each village will host a day of Festival Events and the Festival Base is the Cheshire Art Hub, Burwardsley which will run an exhibition of 10 artists and craftspeople throughout the 4 days.
