SwiMIPIM… done! HUGE thank you to everyone who’s kindly donated, and to the wonderful organisers - we’ve raised nearly £18,000 for Street for London homelessness charity! 💪🏻

Am definitely feeling the arm muscles today but we so lucky to have beautiful calm and sunny conditions yesterday and it was super to join such a fantastic group of people in the water. Am inspired to go for the 2km next year… maybe!

Postcards from Pocket - Elephant Park, London 🌳

There’s something so magical about coming together outside in nature to share in cultural, creative moments - mankind’s been doing it for millennia! 💛

We’ve been developing and producing outdoor public events and activation programmes since 2008 and in 2017 we had the joy of working at the new Elephant Park in London.

The opening of the first phase of this new green space in the heart of London was the perfect spot to host collaborations of local organisations, bringing existing and new communities together through the universal languages of art, music, performance, food, sport and of course, nature.

The park is fully complete now and continues to be a place where local people gather, exchange stories and their cultural passions. A lovely spot to check out is your ever in London!

The hope of spring Springing...

Blossoms and blooms herald the sun’s return, bringing longer days and brighter mornings. This season fosters new ideas, collaborations, and the quiet anticipation of what’s yet to unfold.

Newsletter for February is out now!

It may still be wet and cold, but February has felt a bit like coming out of hibernation — moving from planning into action, with ideas starting to turn into timelines, budgets and practical steps. The moment when things begin to feel doable…

Over time, a few things become clear…�

1 - Shared values are the base everything else is built on.
2 - Strong partnerships are shaped early.
3 - Creativity needs protection as much as freedom.
4 - Structure should make work easier, not louder.
5 - Planning ahead often means working backwards.
6 - Cultural work has more impact when it unfolds in layers.
7 - The most valuable work isn’t always the loudest.
�Most importantly, good frameworks don’t restrict creativity — they protect it.

Valentine’s Day tends to celebrate grand gestures.
But in cultural work, love looks different.
It looks like a long meeting.
Artist advocacy.
Careful budgeting.
Public space shaped with intention.
Love is infrastructure.
It’s what allows creativity to exist, grow, and remain accessible.

Don’t know about anyone else, but the start of February has felt a bit like coming out of hibernation. Things are starting to move again. January was about easing back in and sketching ideas out. Now conversations are changing, priorities are clear, and decisions are starting to be made...

I really love this point — when proposals and vision decks make way for spreadsheets, timelines and the practical stuff that actually helps projects happen. So fun! I’m not a fan of governance or process for the sake of it, but I do care about having the right structure in place so ideas don’t get stuck... That moment where the flow turns into form, and the work starts to feel doable rather than overwhelming. 👌

If you’re a creative with a project you’re trying to move forward this year and could do with some producer or project management support — sequencing things, getting organised, keeping momentum — feel free to drop me a line. Always happy to have a chat.

We always find that places that work best culturally aren’t driven by big, one-off moments.
They’re shaped by regular, layered activity — things that feel natural, familiar, and part of daily life.
We design programmes that build over time, that create trust. They invite participation and leave space for partnerships to grow.
Building connection and consistency - that’s what we think flow looks like when it comes to culture in public spaces.

A bit about Pocket Creatives…
Our work sits between artists, culture and places: curating and producing cultural programmes for public spaces and developments, while also supporting artists to navigate the strategic and practical side of their practice.

For 2026, the focus this year is on flow and nature inspired projects and artists — creating cultural moments that are thoughtful, paced and sustainable, and rooted in wellbeing.

Working between the UK and France, whether with a space or an individual artist, our aim is always the same: meaningful partnerships, values-led planning, and smooth delivery of creative work that people can genuinely connect with…

So, if you’re an artist, curator, or working on a place where culture matters, you are very welcome here. 💛 Drop us a line if you’d like to chat about upcoming projects.

Tuesday, 15th April, was ‘World Art Day’ and I am LOVING seeing all the posts supporting culture and creatives!

Established in 2019 at the 40th session of General Conference, World Art Day is a celebration to help promote the development, diffusion and enjoyment of art. Every year it serves as a reminder of the link between artistic creations and society, encouraging greater awareness of the diversity of artistic expression and highlighting the contribution of creatives to the world around us.

Art really is a universal language and I couldn’t agree more than with the words of the ’ instagram post -

“Art fosters creativity, innovation and cultural diversity. It helps spread knowledge and inspires curiosity and dialogue.

Art brings people together around shared values.

These are timeless qualities - ones that will endure if we continue to support artists and protect artistic freedom. By supporting art, we also strengthen our path toward a freer, and more peaceful world”

So let’s keep supporting artists, creative endeavours and access to culture for all.
