We had a buzzing Innovation on the High Street event on 8 December, with 50 people involved in a range of community, business and social action initiatives, coming together to talk about the future of our high streets and the collaboration that could make them interesting and strong. We had coffee served by By Sea, food from the Roundabout Café and enjoyed the vibrant surroundings of Tiger Yard. Culture Southampton co-hosted with us and helped fund the refreshments.

Joe Hudson took some fantastic photos that summed up the event very well. Click here for his pictures, including some info about his Closed Down Southampton project. Get in contact if you want to see a full report of the session.
