Now Northwich
27th April 2024
EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED…
Produced by registered charity Cheshire Dance, Now Northwich is an international dance and street arts festival that enables thousands to experience some of the best local, national and international outdoor shows around for one day and night each year in the heart of Cheshire – and for free.
A festival without barriers, Now Northwich prides itself on welcoming everyone regardless of age, ability/disability or income to its event, with much to see and do for every member of the family.
From awe inspiring spectacles for all ages, to participatory experiences such as workshops, interactive activities and the chance to get involved in a community performance… Now Northwich offers families, community members and visitors from further afield something truly special.
A small team with a big mission (and even bigger ambition), Cheshire Dance quite simply looks to enrich lives with the arts through the Now Northwich festival. Times are currently tough; we’re living in a financially challenging world and Cheshire Dance believes that access to arts experiences like Now Northwich are more important now than ever before.
Not only does Now Northwich give people the chance to spend quality time with their families and fellow community members, but it provides them with an experience that will boost their mental and emotional wellbeing. With walkways filled during the day with everything from high energy hip hop to martial arts-infused dance, intricate acrobatics and aerial circus … and an entrancing procession of other-worldly figures transforming against the night sky at dusk, how could it not?
So if you love Now Northwich as much as we enjoying bringing it to you, and if you recognise the hard work that Cheshire Dance does behind the scenes to bring a festival of this scale and quality to the town, please consider making a donation.
Every penny helps us to keep reaching the community – particularly those who identify through a Protected Characteristic – and to keep providing experiences that undoubtedly make a difference to people lives.

About Cheshire Dance:
Cheshire Dance creates opportunities for people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds to access dance and to use the art form to live healthier and happier lives. A charity founded in 1976, Cheshire Dance works right across community, health and educational settings throughout Cheshire, making dance accessible to everyone. From working with young people and older adults, to those living with challenging health conditions or disabilities (including profound intellectual and multiple difficulties), at Cheshire Dance we strive to reach as many people as possible to enrich their lives through dance.
We take the art form into areas of low engagement and low income; we work with vulnerable groups and support many in their first social experiences of dance. We believe that the art form is for everyone, and we break down barriers to give everybody access to dance.
