With details of the upcoming Brigantia Creative Breakfast and more:

Coming up at Brigantia Creative Breakfast with Artwalk Wakefield Thursday 5 March, 8.30 - 10am Brigantia’s Creative Breakfast is back for 2020! Are you all fired up after the Dewsbury Blueprint and want to learn more about how to get your creative plan for Dewsbury off the ground? This spring, we're welcoming guest speakers who have transformed their city streets, disused high street shops and public spaces with creativity, ambition and a DIY spirit. For the first session, we’ve invited Amy Lilley and Lucy Norton, the creators of Artwalk Wakefield, to share their experience of getting their project up and running and bringing local people together around creativity. Brigantia’s monthly Creative Breakfast aims to facilitate conversations on how creativity can benefit our area and improve the lives of those who live and work in Dewsbury and the surrounding area. You don’t have to be an artist or business owner to come along, but you’ll get to join in conversations on how creativity can benefit our area, share ideas, learn – and enjoy some fresh coffee, Yorkshire tea and croissants.
