SHIFT is a vibrant and interactive programme celebrating all things digital in Cheshire East. From exhibitions and workshops to talks and hands on making - SHIFT is full of inspiring and creative events for all ages and abilities. Whether you're a code loving kid, a techie novice or whizz, a family in search of something new or even a digital pro making the next award-winning app - our events offer something for all in surprising spaces across the region in 2017 and beyond.

"The SHIFT programme will demonstrate East Cheshire can become a leader in digital arts. There will be many opportunities for people of all ages to take part in activities with professional artists and designers. Along with colleagues from the Arts Council, I look forward to getting involved in a wide range of events over the next year."      Ian Tabbron, Senior Relationship Manager, Arts Council England
