Cultural strategy

We are writing a cultural strategy for Harlow which will set out our vision and ambition for how culture can help to create a better place to live, and how we can make sure that everyone has the opportunity to engage in the cultural life of the town.

The strategy will include all aspects of creativity and culture in the town – art forms such as circus, craft, dance, drama, literature, music, theatre, visual art, festivals and events, museums, libraries, heritage, parks and open spaces and tourism/visitor attractions.

We worked with Rhiannon Faith Company to make sure local people’s voices are reflected in the strategy. Thank you to everyone who gave their views.

Your feedback has been used to create a new cultural manifesto: ‘Rebuild: Reimagine - establishing Harlow as a cultural capital’

We have also created a £55,000 fund to create a heritage and culture grant scheme.
