St Helens Parish Church is excited to be launching its Minster Arts Partnership Scheme. The Partnership Scheme joins together the church with local arts and creative organisations, to create exciting events that celebrate the heritage and the future of St Helens. They will offer four partnerships for events held this year, and look to offer a whopping ten partnerships in 2025.The scheme is designed to grow relationships between all creatives in St Helens, and aims to attract local groups to partner with for high-profile events in the church.
Operations and Events Manager, Liz Thornton, said, “We know that we are all stronger when we work together, and the church wants to celebrate the very best that St Helens has to offer. We want to make St Helens Parish Church, as it becomes St Helens Minster, accessible to everyone in the town, and offer a variety of events, so that there really is something for everyone.” If you are interested in getting involved and holding a partnered event please contact Liz directly on 01744 22909 or: engage.minster@churchsthelens.org
