Following advice from Public Health England and in consultation with our event partners, Nuneaton & Bedworth Borough Council, Warwickshire County Council,  Imagineer and artist David Best, we have taken the decision to postpone Sanctuary until May 2022.

This is so that participants and audiences can experience the project as intended by the artist. Sanctuary will now take place 21-28 May 2022. Built in the stunning Miners’ Welfare Park in the heart of Bedworth, this temporary public artwork is intended as a healing space for everyone, a place to remember those we have lost and a beacon of hope to mark the rebirth, recovery and regeneration of the whole community.

There are still opportunities to take part in Sanctuary as Build Participants and Sanctuary Guardians. Find out more here. Click on the links for further information and sign up to our mailing list to keep in touch.
