Main celebration is July 16th with the ' right royal regatta' ...... Reconstructing Queen Victoria's visit to the canal in 1851. There'll be things going on alal that weekend - and probably during the wek I think. There's info on Salford's website. Barton Theatre Co are involved a little in the 'official' bit at Worsley but we're mainly involved in Some street theatre revolving around Eccles Wakes in the 19th century. We'll be at the Waterside Pub/ restaurant off Parrin Lane Bridge in Winton - and also at the Monton Festival in early July and the Eccles Festival in September. I'd be interested in including any songs from the mid 19th century that might have been sung at the Wakes ...... And any local singers who might want to be involved - we're not in the main a singing group though we're always happy to have a good go at songs !! So if any one out there knows of any songs, or might even want to help us sing them, let me know EllyMcC
