A 1-day event exploring regeneration through community-led culture and heritage.
Reimagining High Streets is an exciting 1-day event for those working in the arts, heritage and local authorities to explore how community-led culture and heritage activities can support place-shaping and regeneration.
The event will draw on the learning from the High Street Heritage Action Zones cultural programme, Historic England‘s four-year programme to revitalise more than 60 high streets. There will also be speakers from other organisations working with communities to shape local places.
Hear from a wide variety of individual projects as they present the successes and challenges of delivering community-led engagement with culture and heritage and the impact this work has on local regeneration.
The day will be made up of panel discussions, interactive workshops and market-place style presentations with speakers from across arts and heritage. Participants will have the opportunity to:
- Network with others working in similar fields
- Reflect on your own work
- Seek practical hints and tips
- Contribute ideas to help projects develop the work further
The event is free, however, booking is essential.

Harleigh Fungalford Castle: an audio guide to an imagined heritage ruin
This sound walk through an imaginary castle can be performed at any 'heritage' site. The guide challenges how visitors experience the prompts of historical interpretation by adding layers of imagined history that are mysterious and arbitrary. The style imitates conventional interpretive audio guides, before revealing a narrative that is non-didactic, destabilizing, weird and comical. I made space for class commentary and for including the more-than-human. This audio was mostly improvised while walking and slightly refined afterwards. It was then recorded at five different sites, including two Norman ruined castles, one in England and one in Wales and a Neolithic burial chamber. You may begin this walk anywhere. It is intended to take 25-45 minutes.
