Is Key Decision?: No

Is Callable In?: No

Purpose:

Content: To provide a one-off grant of £1500 towards the publicity costs for the Stratford on Avon ‘pop up’ Museum. Stratford upon Avon is the main commercial and shopping centre for the District and attracts significant numbers of visitors. The town lacks a museum and, in the longer term, there are aspirations that this will be a key part of the Stratford Gateway/World Shakespeare Centre project. In the interim, the Stratford on Avon ‘pop up’ Museum is being hosted in Harvard House, which has been lent free of charge by the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust and is staffed by volunteers supported by the Stratford Town Trust and the Stratford Society. The funding provided by this grant will be used to produce publicity material to promote the museum to residents and visitors. This will attract people into the town centre supporting local businesses and the local economy. 1.    To support the application for funding 2.    To refuse the application for funding 3.    To provide an alternative level of funding

Date of Decision: August 4, 2025
