Shelagh Delaney Day celebrations in Salford


After the success of the inaugural event last year, Shelagh Delaney Day is making a comeback and celebrations will be held throughout November.

The main celebrations will take place at Salford Arts Theatre in Pendleton, where Shelagh’s most famous play A Taste of Honey will run from November 11 – 14.

There will also be celebrations at the arts theatre on Wednesday, November 25 and Thursday, November 26 when organisers are hoping to stage the world premiere of Shelagh’s modern melodrama ‘All About And To A Female Artist’.

Salix Homes will also be presenting the Shelagh Delaney Creativity Award at the Salix Stars Awards on Friday, November 27.

Last year Salix Homes unveiled a plaque on her childhood home in Duchy Road, which we now own (pictured).
