Making sense of a place can be a really fun, creative and rewarding process. Tonight we are facilitating wider discussions about the future of #Glossop and steering a cultural shift through #coproduction #Glossopia

Last week we talked about the reappropriation of spaces and talked about how we approached transforming St John's Church into an art centre, for Blackburn's creative community. It is with great sadness to share the church had a catastrophic fire this morning. Please support.
