In our last campaign we announced that we hoped to prepare a cultural rights exhibition along Lord Street or the Promenade to encourage festival-goers and local residents alike to reflect on the theme of cultural heritage and identity. We are pleased to inform you that since then we have held talks with the Atkinson Centre who have now very kindly offered to provide a space for the the display during the festival.
