St Helens Arts, Culture & Creativity Network Meeting

St Helens Borough Council Arts Service hope that you can join them to kick start a creative new year 2026

Following the success of the network launch with over 40 attendees in September 2025 this new network is for anyone interested in the arts, creative and cultural scene in St Helens.

There will be time to meet new people, find out about upcoming events, let us know about your own projects, shout out for collaborators, or simply come along and drink tea!

On the night you will be able to take part in two short break-out groups, on the following themes:

• The International Festival of Glass is coming to the World of Glass, St Helens, and the wider Northwest region in August 2026. Find out more and share ideas on how you would like to be involved.
• Business Planning/Goal Setting for creative and digital businesses. If you are thinking about putting your creative ideas into practice or growing an existing business, this introduction by the Growth Company is a great place to start.
• Looking to develop your practice in the performing arts? Come along and discuss what you need in 2026.
• Creative Chit-chat: bring a question or a creative problem and get ideas or contacts from the room.

Launched in response to the recent survey we carried out for the creative sector, the meetings will be once every 3 months.

We hope you can join us.
