Working with communities at Harewood: Harewood Explored

The Harewood Explored project was a 5 year project funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund which aimed to create opportunities for Harewood to engage with visitors, particularly community groups, who would not normally have a chance to access a heritage resource such as Harewood or it’s collections.  

The Harewood Explored project worked in partnership with specific community groups in the Yorkshire region by providing funding to 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 and funding for events and educational sessions. 

Harewood House Trust is committed to continuing to develop new audiences, and considers working with communities to be vital to its on-going role as a vibrant heritage resource for all. Harewood is lucky enough to have a whole range of materials in the collection that reflects the diversity of the community surrounding it and is committed to making the collections as accessible as possible.
