Connecting People to People and People to Place
What we do
We know that Burnthouse Lane with its unique heritage and amazing community is a special place. With the help of your DCC Councillor, Marina Asvachin, we now have a bit of funding in the pot to find creative ways to celebrate it together:-
- Exhibitions
- Flags to line our streets
- Researching our landscape - uncovering its hidden secrets
- Tea parties and inter-generational events
- Street dances/performance!

What's next?
Come join us on the Shakespeare Swing By …. !! 14th August 2021
We’ll be doing a couple of fun walks all around Shakespeare Road pointing out where some local heroes lived and a few other local history tidbits. Good for all ages and a great bit of community heritage. (No unaccompanied minors please). For everyone on Shakespeare Road and its adjoining avenues and roads. See you there!
(Supported by Live and Move as part of the Wonford Loves Ludwell events.)
