The SKDC arts and culture team are planning to take events out into the community with help from Arts Council England funding in a bid to spread work across the district and investigate new ways of providing the arts in South Kesteven.

The ever-popular Arts Around Town Family Days will be happening this year in a Covid safe way in South Kesteven’s four towns during the May half term, covid restrictions permitting.

There will be plenty of fun activities to enjoy and something for all the family. Through these events SKDC will employ 50 Artists, 5 Creative Producers, provide 50 outdoor or online arts experiences to engage with residents and keep the arts in SK alive!
