About Us
Put simply, we’re about the good times...
Or rather, bringing people together to make the good things happen
Bring a community together and great things can happen, for the local area and its people.
We work together with local people to do just that. We build proper relationships with communities across Ashfield, Bolsover, Mansfield, and North East Derbyshire to make inspiring arts and cultural things happen.

From putting on outdoor art festivals to supporting family art events in communities, we offer a wide range of ways for local people and partners to have their say, take part, develop, give new cultural things a whirl and make quality art events and activities happen.
