Eight weeks of joyful collaboration with @andeecollard and the loveliest young people from @CicTruecolours. We’ve made whole new worlds, told some pretty incredible stories and done a whole lot of creative play. Going to miss the space we’ve created together a lot!

Beautiful work from our collaborators at @BridgeCollege_ 😊👋
Artists Laura & Mei Yuk from the @the_turnpike have been working with #BridgeCollege learners. They're designing & making a plate from clay. The theme is based around the learners hopes and dreams for 2022. Hussein said, he really likes the project so far! @TogetherTrust #College

In 1971, an iconic Brutalist building was constructed in Leigh’s Civic Square. The Turnpike Centre created a unique space for art and learning at the heart of the town. Happy 50th Anniversary to this wonderful place for community, arts and culture! 📷thanks to @ArchiveWigLeigh
