Sorry if it seems uncharitable, but I've removed some of the material you added to the Whaley Bridge article (most recently the dates of the next festival). The section in question is already borderline promotional in its tone, and Facebook is not usually considered a credible source, but I've left some of the material even though it's not really encyclopaedic. I'm sure everybody is sympathetic to the aims of the various charities and organisations involved, but Wikipedia is not the place to promote local events. It says unambiguously at WP:PROMOTION "Those promoting causes or events, or issuing public service announcements, even if noncommercial, should use a forum other than Wikipedia to do so." Another problem with adding dates of future events is that they become out of date if not removed after the event (see WP:RECENTISM, WP:BALL etc.).
