"Councillor Anne Clarke stated that the £250,000 of funding from The National Lottery Heritage Fund will ensure resources for a spectacular programme of cultural events."
"The programme will include major projects and a Community Heritage Fund, allowing local groups to bid for support and culminating in a free arts festival."
"Stuart McLeod expressed delight in supporting Barnet's year of culture, emphasizing the celebration of the borough's rich and diverse heritage."
"The festival aims to be a powerful, inclusive platform for cultural exchange, unity, and imagination, showcasing Barnet's cultural diversity and history."
The funding will facilitate a year of culture in Barnet in 2026, featuring a comprehensive 12-month programme of arts, heritage, and community initiatives. A previous Cultural Impact Award of £200,000 and £100,000 from Arts Council England have contributed to this effort. The funding ensures resources for a large-scale cultural programme aimed at showcasing Barnet's uniqueness and boosting the local creative economy. It will conclude with a free arts and heritage festival celebrating the borough's cultural diversity, allowing local groups to engage through the Community Heritage Fund.
