Crowds flocked to Haworth Art Gallery for the cultural celebration
More than 5,000 people from across Hyndburn and beyond joined a special cultural celebration at what was the biggest event ever held by an art gallery in its 100 year history. Crowds flocked to Haworth Art Gallery in Accrington for the Connecting Cultures event last Sunday.
An internationally renowned sculpture, the ‘Lumini’, was also on show, hosting workshops, which sold out prior to the ‘Connecting Cultures’ event. Ukulele, heritage and viola workshops, as well as a George and the Dragon storytime all took place inside the Architects of Air structure, an extraordinary and beautiful art installation, offering a spectacular display of light and colour.
‘Connecting Cultures’ offered a wide range of family-friendly activities including an artisan craft and makers market in The Stables, free henna art, Father’s Day and Carers Day crafts, potpourri making, badge making, heritage games, community and charity stalls, an Indian Rickshaw display and much more.
While a special celebration event was also hosted alongside ‘Idle Women’ – a local charity with hundreds of participants. Award-winning actor, Julie Hesmondhalgh, also attended the event.
