Creative Kernow Competitors

We champion, develop and invest in artistic and cultural experiences that enrich people's lives. We support activities across the arts, museums and libraries – from theatre to digital art, reading to dance, music to literature, and crafts to collections. By 2030 we want England to be a country in which the creativity of each of us is valued and given the chance to flourish and where everyone of us has access to a remarkable range of high quality cultural experiences. Between 2018 and 2022, we will invest £1.45 billion of public money from government and an estimated £860 million from the National Lottery to help deliver this vision.

With more than 120 years' experience, professional facilities, teaching excellence, peerless connections and a vibrant creative community, we’re not afraid to do things differently. At Falmouth University, we’re re-thinking the shape of higher education and delivering impactful research and innovation. We are passionate about ideas and innovation. Our approach is rooted in collaboration and transdisciplinary working: the belief that only together can we deliver the bold thinking that will solve the most complex issues of our time.

Plymouth City Council is undergoing an exciting transformation programme which will radically change the way services are delivered across the city. Plymouth is a spectacular waterfront city which has seen many exciting changes over the last few years. These include the growth of Plymouth University, the redevelopment of sites such as the Royal William Yard, the opening of Plymouth Life Centre - one of the best sports and leisure facilities in the country- a growing events programme and a burgeoning reputation as a foodie heaven. Plymouth is an ambitious city and there are many exciting major changes ahead. Our reputation as a centre of excellence for marine sciences and engineering will expand as the City Deal programme provides a Launchpad for small companies and increases the space available for marine-related industries. Our universities continue to attract attention around the world and our schools, including the new University Technical College, increasingly work with industry to nurture future talent. Plymouth has a huge amount to offer, including an unrivalled lifestyle with its amazing green spaces, stunning waterfront and close proximity to some of the best beaches and landscapes in the UK, as well as all the advantages of a vibrant urban culture of a big city. This city is full of opportunity for the right people and businesses to work together to create one of Europe’s most vibrant waterfront cities where an outstanding quality of life is enjoyed by everyone.
