Wythenshawe Culture Hub Community Engagement

Project start date: March 01, 2024
Project end date: September 01, 2026

Beat Bazaar has been delivering community engagement for Wythenshawe's new culture hub , a high-profile regeneration project for the area, since 2024, working in partnership with Counterculture LLP. In addition to consultation and engagement sessions across Wythenshawe's wards — reaching community forums, groups and networks including young people, older people, community activators and local creatives — we've been exploring identity and meaning too. We invited residents to reflect on Wythenshawe's history, pride and future aspirations, and what a name and feel for the hub should represent. Local ambassadors and creatives have helped shape this process, imagining a space that truly belongs to Wythenshawe.
