Lottery Funded Arts Council
We believe that great art and culture inspires us, brings us together and teaches us about ourselves and the world around us. In short, it makes life better.
We champion, develop and invest in artistic and cultural experiences that enrich people’s lives.
We support activities across the arts, museums and libraries – from theatre to digital art, reading to dance, music to literature, and crafts to collections.
Between 2015 and 2018, we will invest £1.1 billion of public money from government and an estimated £700 million from the National Lottery to help create art and culture experiences for everyone, everywhere.
Woking Borough Council
Woking Borough Council’s successful Celebrate Woking is an established programme of community events.
Since 2012, we have attracted in excess of 100,000 visitors per year to our range of free interactive, family-friendly events, including Party in the Park, Woking Food and Drink Festival, Diwali, Remembrance Sunday, to name just a few!
This year marks 150 years since the birth of H.G. Wells – a prolific English writer who was inspired to write many and some of his best known works, including War of the Worlds, whilst living in Maybury, Woking.
To commemorate Wells’ achievements, Celebrate Woking and its partners will deliver a cultural programme in his honour called Wells in Woking. Get ready for talks, walks, exhibitions and family events – all with a sci-fi twist!
