We at the Hua Xian Chinese Society have for years organised community orientated events to share culture and arts with the wider community together with local artists, performers and volunteers.
For 2011’s programme, as well as favourites from previous years, we’ve expanded and brought together events organised by ourselves and other partner organisations across Lancaster to showcase national and international artists and musicians such as Ed Pien – a Canadian based Chinese artist, and Xuefei Yang – from Beijing now based in the UK.
We hope the Festival will contribute to Lancaster’s aim to be the destination for anyone with a passion for arts and culture, helping to raise its profile as a vibrant, welcoming city for visitors and residents alike.
Lancaster Chinese New Year is not just for the Chinese community, but for everyone. Please take this amazing opportunity and enjoy all the hardwork everyone has done to bring you this experience!
