What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
This proposal will increase access to cultural opportunities, through the provision of a free and varied activity programme for all ages and abilities to enjoy. A high-quality town centre mural will animate and improve the high street while boosting the local economy. It will also deliver an exciting programme of activity, for young people to enjoy, facilitated by a professional mural artist. This proposal will create opportunities to better connect the community to local heritage, and also each other, through the development of both the community archaeology project, and a heritage-inspired lantern festival. This proposal will develop existing cultural assets, develop new audiences for heritage and the arts through the activity programme, and increase access to heritage, culture and the arts.
