Forres Connected – Culture & Heritage
FACT has joined up with Forres Heritage Trust and other interested organisations, groups, businesses and individuals to bring a package of heritage projects to Forres after securing £20K in funding from the UK Government through the UK Shared prosperity Fund.
The pilot initiative called Forres Connected-Culture and Heritage will bring a programme of activities including guided walks and tours, talks, traditional entertainment events, and tailor-made activity packages for day and longer stay visitors, to name but a few of the plans, from April to September 2024.
A new leaflet has also been produced which highlights just some of the exciting events taking place in Forres over the next few months and puts a spotlight on a map of the town’s many heritage landmarks.
The groups currently involved in the project are: Highland Youth Theatre, Leanchoil Trust, Findhorn Bay Arts, St John’s Church, Film Forres, Friends of the Falconer Museum, Forres Area Business Association, Forres Area Tourism Network, HA HA (Helen Avenell Heritage Associates) and individuals who are involved in local events such as the Forres Highland Games, Grant Park 100 and the British Pipe Band Championships and Forres Local.
The funding has also allowed us to create a Heritage Information Hub in Forres Town Hall. Opening times, Monday to Friday from 10am to 3pm.
For further information on the various activities and developments or how to get involved please go to the Forres Connected-Culture and Heritage Facebook Page, alternatively email us at [email protected] or pop in to speak to one of our lovely Volunteers at the Heritage Information Hub.
Forres Town Hall is YOUR Town Hall
FACT needs help to raise extra money to help pay for additional repairs that are needed for Phase 1 of the Forres Town Hall Redevelopment Project.
FACT have uncovered problems while working on Phase 1 of the Forres Town Hall Redevelopment Project and we need YOUR help to raise additional funds.
We have found that structural supports need major repair or replacement and this was not anticipated in Phase 1 of the Forres Town Hall Redevelopment Project despite significant survey work being completed before the start of this Phase.
Temporary additional supports will be required to be installed and works cannot continue on the roof above until the repairs or replacement structural work is complete which causes concern about how we will pay for these unexpected extra costs.
We need YOUR help:
These additional works were not anticipated in Phase 1 and we now need to raise extra funds to allow this work to be completed as soon as possible.
- We need over £20,000 to help pay for this essential additional dry rot treatment and structural work.
- Please help us to keep Forres Town Hall open to the community by making a donation to support this vital Project.
