Glossop Creates… a programme of activities to support your year ahead!

Grab yourself a brew and help us (and you!!) make Glossop a more successful place to develop your business or creative practice, provide our local communities and visitors with enviable experiences and inform local regeneration.

This is your chance to let us know how we can, together, support Glossop’s Creative Industry sector. To be as inclusive as possible, we welcome feedback from all creative practitioners and businesses within a 5-mile radius of Glossop High Street.

All we need is 20 minutes of your precious time to complete our survey and in return, we’ll give you our heartfelt thanks and share the analysis to support your goals.

Creative Network Evening call for speakers!

The next Glossop Creates Creative Network Meeting will take place in February – keep an eye on your inboxes next week for your invite!

Our Creative Network Meeting provide a platform for you, the Glossop Creates team and friends, to update the community about the latest news and views from all aspects of the town’s independent and creative community, providing a space for people and businesses to talk, collaborate and share ideas.

We want the focus of our February Network Meeting to be on you and what you are making and creating in Glossop! We invite you to share your work, for a show and tell of the creativity in our town. We want to see what you’re making, hear about your success stories from 2022 and your plans for the year ahead. This could be a painting, a poem, a song or a dance!

If you’d like to share your work or exciting news, please get in touch with us at hello@glossopcreates.com.  There will also be space for short, acoustic music performances, if you’d like to perform please let us know!
