A Renaissance in the regions funded touring exhibition

 

Sporting Heroes is one of the outstanding projects granted the London 2012 Inspire mark, the badge of the London 2012 Inspire programme which recognises exceptional and innovative projects inspired by the 2012 Games.

 

The Inspire programme is an opportunity for everyone to be a part of the London 2012 Games; a broad participation programme spanning sport participation,
education, sustainability, volunteering and business opportunities & skills.

New opportunities are being created to inspire young people and encourage the whole of the UK to join in.

 

In the summer of 2012, the UK will come alive with the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Our four-year Cultural Olympiad will reach a climax with the Olympic Games Opening Ceremony on 27 July. It starts a 60-day festival of sport and culture across the UK – the Olympic and Paralympic Games. For the first time, these two events have been planned together from the very beginning. By thinking about the needs of both Olympic and Paralympic athletes and spectators at each point in our plans, we can create the best possible Games experience for everyone.

On tour- Witch Hunt

 With her broomstick, pointed hat and black cat, the witch is   one of the most iconic  and infamous characters from fairytale, folklore and fiction. Yet behind this image lies a true story of paranoia and persecution. Although England experienced several hundred witch-trials, only one was worthy of the name. This took place in East Anglia in 1645-7, at the height of the English Civil War. This touring exhibition explains how and why this terrible tragedy occurred.
