We’re thrilled to be able to share news of this investment!
🩷 🧡 🩵 💚

A huge thank you to everyone who pledged their support, to Stoke-on-Trent City Council and the Pride in Place Impact Fund for helping make this possible.

We can’t wait to give this historic Longton building a new lease of life, creating a permanent home for Wild Edge Arts and a new creative community hub for Longton, with space for making, creativity, young people and community projects.

A historic building in Longton is set to get a new lease of life thanks to £53,633 of Pride in Place funding.

Wild Edge Arts will transform the former Barclays Bank on The Strand – vacant since 2021 - into a permanent home for its cultural and creative programmes.

Wild Edge Arts said: “The impact of this new community space for Longton will reach far beyond its walls, supporting delivery of high impact community projects like the Longton Carnival
and Pig Walk Parade, Longton Town Forum, our thriving youth programme, and our December Winter Odyssey in Queen’s Park.”

It’s one of dozens of projects announced through the £1.5 million Pride in Place Impact Fund – nominated by members of the public - which is helping deliver improvements to community spaces, parks, high streets and public places across the city.
