Newbiggin Hall Creates
In Newbiggin we have been working out of the Galafield centre developing relationships with local residents and partner organisations. We have been given significant funding by the Paul Hamlyn Foundation to explore and deliver a co-creative approach to cultural development in this community, working with local residents and key partners over the next three years. The Newbiggin Producer has developed a Women’s Art group and Creative Writing group who meet weekly. If you are interested in either of these groups or know someone who is from Newbiggin, please email: [email protected]
