CELEBRATING its tenth year this spring, the Green Walk Open House Arts & Crafts Weekend is a refreshingly home-grown, local arts event that started with some collectively generous neighbours throwing open their front doors to the public, for a range of displays by creative professionals and amateurs.

Now, a decade since its inception, Green Walk Arts & Crafts is a firm favourite on the south Manchester arts calendar, and, despite attracting a growing audience each year, retains its homely feel and welcoming, neighbourhood spirit.
Green Walk, off Wood Road, retains its mystery for about twenty metres and then suddenly opens out to a central, tree-lined green. On the Open House weekend the green will host a marquee offering a 'gallery cafe' and seating.
The participating, open houses in this charming cul-de-sac are marked at the gate by a balloon arch and everyone’s welcome to come on in, browse, chat, be inspired or snap up a bargain direct from the artist. Across the threshold of the 11 open houses you’ll find creativity on show in the halls, sitting rooms and kitchens: this year's contributors will include a fantastic variety of local potters, sculptors, painters, photographers and more.
Contributing artists for 2016 have all been confirmed and are listed, with more info, directions and pictures from last year at www.greenwalk.co.uk
