Our Bloom Britannia project was sadly put on hold in March 2020 during the lockdown. Thanks to an emergency grant from the Arts Council of England, we were able to keep in touch with our participants and audiences during this strange year, as well as to support many of the artists and musicians involved with the project.

We created a whole programme of engaging workshops, a series of wonderful video-blogs, presented by two members of the Bloom Britannia team – thanks Caf Fean and Lucy Mulgan! – as well as several small-scale socially distanced events. If you didn’t manage to watch these, many of these events were filmed by Isolation Station Hastings…some of these videos – and the wonderful video-blogs can be watched in full here!:
