Posted 28/11/07 The Leicester Cultural Quarter audio tour is tantalisingly close to completion so we will post the link up here as soon as it goes live and then you can all download the tracks and the map and find out some unexpected nuggets of information as you walk around Leicester's St Georges area. It could be a little while until the project is officially launched as it will coincide with a whole programme of commissions from Leicester City Council that will be unveiled next Spring. So do be patient and we will let you know as soon as there is any news. Posted 17/09/07 Well this month we've started work on our next Watch This Space audio tour for the cultural quarter in Leicester. This generally involves a lot of time reading books, interviewing a varied selection of people and drinking quite a few cups of tea. If anyone out there does has a connection with the St. Georges area in Leicester and would like to share anecdotes, memories, historical facts and cups of tea please get in contact. The bit below offers a slightly more detailed idea of the project Sharing Memories and Anecdotes of the St. Georges Area Watch This Space, an arts organisation in Leicester has been commissioned to create an audio tour around the St. Georges area. The company would like to talk to members of the public who have a connection with the St. Georges area, whether it was working in the many factories or a special date at the Odeon Cinema or the Leicester Palais. The other buildings that we would like to know more about are: Guild of Disabled, The Exchange Buildings, The Cherub Building, The Squirrel Building, Charles Police Station, The International Hotel, The Mercury Building, Secular Hall, Clarence House and the Weighbridge on Humberstone gate. If you would like to share your anecdotes and memories of the St.Georges area we would love to hear from you. Please contact Esther Simpson on 0116 2616809 or email info@watch-this-space.org.uk. Hidden Tracks We would also like tell you about another opportunity to experience our hidden tracks project in rural Northamptonshire. The event starts at Fermynwood Gallery and involves a beautiful walk through the countryside stopping at certain points to listen to the audio tour. Half way through you receive a fantastic picnic and then a bus ride back to the gallery. Its a fantastic day out that involves a country walk, a national trust building, a contemporary art gallery and some great cakes ! Saturday 22 September 2007, 2 – 6pm, £5 each including picnic on route and a mini bus ride back Children under 8 are FREE Booking essential for the event, call 01536 373 469
