Burnley Leisure & Culture is recruiting 30 Culture Makers – a brand-new team, who will help shape and deliver Burnley’s Year of Culture in 2027. We are going on a journey of discovery to see how culture happens or what it looks like in other places. We will connect Culture Makers to artists to commission and explore new cultural work to take place on their doorstep in 2026.
