Independent shops, galleries, and one of the world leading centres of music, set against a breath-taking backdrop of reeds, water and sky.
Britten Pears Arts is pleased to have received the news that it will benefit from a Cultural Recovery Grant of £950,000.
The organisation’s usually strong mixed economic model has been devastated by the pandemic and this grant will enable it to continue its distinctive work using music, arts and heritage to engage with diverse audiences, musicians, young people and others and to enhance their lives.

Our Commitment to Equality
Racism has no place in our society or within the arts. Britten Pears Arts is proud to stand in solidarity with the black community and everyone fighting racism across the world.
Following discussions with artists we work with, from groups underrepresented by Britten Pears Arts, we are making these commitments to equal access, equal opportunity, and to holding ourselves accountable.
