They Eat Culture also helps shape the growth of Lancashire through arts engagement, develop audiences through online and in person cultural opportunity; reactivate disused spaces and places and create cultural centres; grow partnerships across local/county
authorities, education, third/voluntary sector, and private enterprise; activate through networks & provide CPD opportunities; kick-start and deliver quality work through collaborating with communities and creatives; producing multi-artform interventions, installations and transmedia projects.

Projects

Gate81
Gate 81 is a joint project with TEC and Manchester School of Architecture, existing online as set of downloadable documents and a design workshop.
The documents are free and open so that anyone who is interested can create proposals for the Bus Station’s development. We would like you to get involved.
No design or building experience needed, only an active, creative interest in Preston Bus Station and its interaction with you and with the city.

And if you have skills as an artist, designer, developer, architect, technologist, anywhere in the world, please use the resources to imagine a positive future for
this striking Preston landmark. Gate 81: Reimagine Preston Bus Station workshop took place on the 11th of May on the bus station concourse
