Our second Shed of Culture project of the year has come to a wrap! Have a look at whats been achieved!

It's been such a pleasure getting to know Kingsway in Wellingborough, and hearing the stories of the street from local residents and organisations.

If your street had its own Shed of Culture.... what would you do? What stories would you tell?

Watch the space for where the Sheds will go next!

Thats right, we are open right up until Christmas Eve! So plenty of chance to come and check out the works from 17 different independent local artists and makers inside The Creative Place this season.

They’re selling their works so its a great opportunity to pick up a unique handmade gift for Christmas. We’ve got art prints, original pieces, ceramics, jewellery and more!

Thanks to Colin O'kane for helping with the animation! Check out his stuff on youtube ‘Colin O’Kane’
