An online conversation exploring access, inclusion and good practice across arts, culture and community spaces in North East Lincolnshire.
This online panel brings together practitioners, organisers and people with lived experience to share practical insight into what inclusive creative communities really look like — and how we build them thoughtfully, collaboratively and sustainably.
We’re pleased to confirm the following contributors for the online panel discussion:
Daniel Watts (Founder, Elephant in The Room Disability Services)
Amy Fancourt (Booking & Development Manager, Grimsby Central Hall)
Noemi Antonelli (Managing Director & Producer, Swans Events / Festival of the Sea)
Katherine Copley (Venue Manager, Docks Academy)
Special guest: Kieran Spiers (Creative Producer, SO Festival)
(As the conversation is shaped, we may add further contributors — we’ll keep this page updated.)
