From jazz to rap, creative writing to 3D art and textiles, The Grange Festival and Hampshire Music Service came together to deliver the Gosport Cultural Education Project; Celebrating Gosport’s heritage and culture by providing workshops for seven education settings throughout the Spring term 2023, using a creative platform to explore its past, present and future.
Over two hundred participants from primary to college age took part in these sessions across five different mediums. Ten days of workshops took place culminating in an exhibition at The Discovery Centre in Gosport between 1-11 April 2023. Take a look at the video below to find out more.
