Under our Creative Places project, we are hosting an event “Innovation on the High Street” on Friday 8 December at 9.30am. This is in partnership with Culture Southampton and others. If you would like to attend, please register via Eventbrite. It’s free and we are delighted that a cross section of people involved in various city activity have signed up to attend.

We realised that there are plenty of people and organisations wanting to make effective use of empty and underused buildings in the city centre and in our neighbourhood centres. Alongside this, there are many projects being developed to address social and environmental issues and create a truly sustainable future for the city. This event will explore pop-ups, permanent projects and possibilities to make Southampton more inclusive, healthy, creative and economically resilient.
