CPG End-of-Year Network Gathering: Shaping 2026 Together

Over the last few months, we’ve been deep in conversation with creators, organisations, collectives, and community leaders across the borough. We’ve now completed the first phase of our research for the new CPG Steering Group, and on the night we’ll share:

• What we heard from the ecosystem
• The early recommendations
• How YOU can get involved in the strategic side of the work
• Opportunities and cultural moments coming up in 2026
• A snapshot of where the creative ecology of B&D is right now

This is an evening for connection, collaboration and clarity.
No formal agenda — just an open, family-friendly space to meet new creatives, reconnect with old faces, and build the links we need to grow stronger together in the next phase.

Expect:

✨ Food
✨ A warm, laid-back vibe
✨ Artists, organisers, practitioners and partners in the room
✨ Insight into the opportunities emerging from the Galleons Centre, Citizens Panel findings, shared curriculum development, and more
✨ A preview of what the CPG is building for 2025/26

As we move into the next stage of the work, collaboration is crucial. We can’t build the future cultural landscape of B&D in isolation — we need the network connected, talking, dreaming, and taking up space together.

📅 Monday 24 November 2024
