A culture strategy has been developed for Bury which aims to make the borough ‘the best place in Greater Manchester to be an independent creative’.
The move comes in the wake of Bury being the inaugural Greater Manchester town of culture from December 2019.
The recognition was retained for two years, because of the impact of the pandemic, during which time a programme of culture and events was held.
Events over the two year period included Bury Art Museum (BAM) exhibitions, on-line live music and performance led by the Met alongside community
driven projects like Prestwich Arts Festival, Bury Pride and events hosted by East Lancashire Railway and other independent artists and creative organisations.
A report on culture strategy and Bury’s time as Greater Manchester town of culture by Coun Charlotte Morris, cabinet member for culture and economy for Bury Council, has been published.
