Location
Liverpool Flute Academy courses and the Liverpool International Flute Competition will take place at CHET Centre in Little Crosby, Liverpool. The competition, concerts and masterclasses will take place in the beautiful Crosby Hall.
“Crosby Hall Educational Trust (CHET) is a small independent centre situated in a beautiful rural setting on a 120 acre country estate about 8 miles north of Liverpool. It was created out of the 17th century stables and farm buildings at Crosby Hall which has been the home of the Blundell family for many centuries. The Blundell family founded CHET more than 30 years ago and remain fully involved. We are a small independent centre where our guests enjoy a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, enhanced by sole occupancy of the centre.”
