Thurrock Plan for Culture 2025 – 2029

The Thurrock Plan for Culture is a future-facing, collective call to action to harness the power of culture to create greater impact in our place and for our people. The Plan sets a direction for transformational change in our place - a clear route towards activating spaces and places with creative and cultural activity, celebrating our unique heritage and diverse cultural offer, and supporting Thurrock’s creative talent to thrive.

Key to achieving a culturally ambitious future is a shared commitment to work in partnership with communities, creative and cultural organisations and key stakeholders embracing the values of co-creation and cooperation. By drawing together different people, ideas and resources, we will ensure that culture and creativity is valued widely, and the benefits are felt by everyone, now and for years to come.
