Winchester District Cultural Strategy
The new cultural strategy, which sets out a shared vision for the cultural development of the Winchester district until 2030, was written by the city council and co-designed by a range of cultural organisations, now known as the Cultural Collective.
The strategy aims to document the district’s cultural offer and its benefits, encourage and facilitate collaborative work, and serve as a lever to attract investment. The strategy was developed and will be delivered in partnership and intends to empower organisations, communities and individuals to create their own cultural and creative activity.
