Funding News
We are excited to tell you that we have been awarded additional funding from Arts Council England.
This funding will allow us to continue our work up-to March 2026. We are incredibly pleased to be able to bring even more incredible creative opportunities to residents.

Our Summer Events
Huge thanks to everyone who came along to experience Pram People, Morphosis and Luminarium this summer.
It was incredible to see so many people come along and get involved; to take part in a live performance, a family workshop, an interactive event and to step inside the colourful maze of the Luminarium by Architects of Air.
We’re running reflection sessions soon for anyone who came along to any of these creative events to hear your thoughts on the experiences.
