Harewood Explored- an HLF funded 5 year audience development project.

Harewood Explored is an exciting Heritage Lottery Funded 5 year audience development project which began in 2006.

The project hopes to address questions about why people visit Harewood, why some people choose not to visit and what our audience think.

By working with local community partners we hope to make Harewood more accessible to everyone. During the next five years we will be working with the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) to promote access and inclusion at all levels, and through all aspects, of the work we do at Harewood.

The HLF funding will provide resources for community groups in the Yorkshire region such as help with transport to and from Harewood, artists and experts to work with groups, an outreach service, talks and lectures on aspects of the collections, funding for cultural festivals and events; but it is all up to the groups involved.
