Read about our approach to delivering the cultural programme for the New Briggate High Street Heritage Action Zone project.
Hidden Histories of New Briggate was started in 2021 as part of the National High Street Heritage Action Zone programme taking place in 60 towns and cities across England. A partnership between Leeds City Council and Historic England, the New Briggate High Street Heritage Action Zone project delivered heritage-led regeneration through the use of government-funded grants for improvements to buildings and public spaces.
We worked with a cultural consortium of seven organisations to deliver a complementary three-year programme of culture that showcased New Briggate’s rich and diverse story with the help of specially commissioned artists and a wide-ranging process of community engagement. The New Briggate cultural consortium included Leeds City Council, Leeds Heritage Theatres, Opera North, Age UK, North Bar & Brewery, Leeds Civic Trust and the Churches Conservation Trust.
