The Leominster Priory Futures Project has now finished, and what an incredible journey it's been!
Over the past 15 months, thanks to funding from The National Lottery Heritage Fund, the project engaged over 18,000 people through heritage activities including the Welcome to England's Orchard film (watch the trailer above), the Ducking Stool project, and our month-long Priory 900 celebration.
Key achievements:
- 15,798 visitors during Priory 900
- 1,425 children involved in schools workshops
- 98.9% of participants rated their experience as excellent or good
- Over 250 volunteers contributed their time and talents
As a result of the project we now have a feasibility study, concept design, business plan and fundraising strategy that will guide the Priory's future development.
What happens next?
The PCC will now review the findings and determine the priorities and next steps for the Priory's future. Watch this space for updates!
Thank you to everyone who took part, volunteered, or supported the project. Your involvement has been invaluable in helping us understand how the Priory can serve the community for the next 100 years.
