Welcome to South Holland's 2025 Culture Conference!
Get ready! We're excited to announce the second annual Culture Conference for the South East Lincolnshire Councils Partnership.
The focus this year is storytelling, marking the launch of "Story Tellers," the new brand for our Arts Council England-funded National Portfolio project.
Join us on Wednesday 25th June at the South Holland Centre, for a vibrant day dedicated to our cultural landscape. Expect insightful discussions, opportunities for collaboration, and a chance to celebrate the unique stories of our region.
We're delighted that Claire Buckley, Julie’s Bicycle Programme Lead, will be joining us as our keynote speaker.
To make the day even more personal, we're inviting every attendee to send us an image and a sentence showcasing a creative success they've achieved in the past year!
The afternoon is dedicated to networking, allowing us to better understand the sector and explore contributions to our key cultural frameworks: Culture for All, Cultural Infrastructure, Culture for Health and Wellbeing, and Cultural Places.
