An Invitation to Collaborate
We’re delighted to invite organisations, artists, and community groups to express their interest in being part of Portsmouth Cultural Festival, marking 100 years of Portsmouth.
Led by URBOND, the festival is rooted in collaboration, creativity, and connection. It will bring together communities from across the city to celebrate Portsmouth’s rich heritage, diverse cultures, and shared future.
We’re seeking partners who would like to contribute ideas, activities, performances, workshops, or creative projects that reflect Portsmouth’s people and stories. Whether you’re an established organisation or an emerging group, we’d love to explore how you could be involved in this landmark celebration.
We are also seeking volunteers to join our dedicated team and be part of planning the event.
