CREATIVE projects in the district have benefited from £400,000 in cultural funding.
The UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) Cultural Programme has supported nine projects between 2023 and 2025.
Stumping up a total of £400,000, the programme has significantly enhanced the region’s creative landscape, reaching thousands of residents and supporting local artists, businesses, and heritage assets across the four towns.
Delivered on time and within budget, the programme enabled four high-profile public events, awarded nine arts grants, distributed over 80 bursaries, and commissioned the creation of new works of art.
Highlights include Art in the Park, Lights of Leamington, a new Street Art Festival, Spark and Ignite events, Leamington Makers’ Hub and Interactive Futures.
Warwick District Council’s arts spokesperson Coun Ella Billiald said: “This cultural investment has created long-lasting infrastructure, opportunity, and momentum. From large-scale public events to grassroots support, we’ve seen incredible community engagement and a strengthening of Warwick district’s vibrant cultural identity.”
