Culture Burnley
Culture Burnley represents cultural organisations, activity providers and individuals across the borough of Burnley. It is led by Burnley Leisure and Culture in conjunction with representatives from across Burnley's cultural organisations. The events hosted by Culture Burnley are designed to support local cultural development, fundraising opportunities, networking and relationship building.
Our vision is for a high quality, people and place focused, cultural offer which drives social and economic development.
Our mission is for:
• Creative engagement, cultural placemaking, and narrative building to promote local pride and raise aspirations.
• A cultural offer that values, reflects and responds to diversity and that empowers our people to lead happier, healthier and more fulfilled lives.
• Collaboration across sectors to be ambitious, to attract investment and to generate economic prosperity.
• Investment in our cultural infrastructure, organisations and creative community to enable them to thrive.
To focus activity and development, our ambition is to bring organisations and individuals together to work towards the delivery of a Year of Culture in Burnley in 2027 which showcases the borough for the benefit of both local people and visitors.
