You Are Here is a three-year National Lottery Heritage Funded project (Sept 2024 – Aug 2027) at Grand Junction, connecting people and places by celebrating the diverse history of the local community, and the heritage of our Grade 1 listed Victorian building.

Over three years we are going to collaborate with specialists, artists, local communities, through a series of events, workshops, and digital innovations to reimagine and shape how we tell the history and stories of our building and city, bringing them to life in exciting new ways. We’ll continue to work with local residents to explore the 151-year history of St Mary Magdalene’s, from its sole purpose as a working church to also becoming a vibrant multi-arts centre and venue – uncovering stories from the past while also looking to the present and future.

Follow You Are Here and its activities on this page. If you’d like to collaborate, share a story, or find out how you can take part, check the ‘Get Involved’ section below.
