We were delighted to be awarded funding from the University of Bedfordshire Heritage Horizons for our Hometown Birds project. Building on our pilot of Hometown Birds at the POP UP 23 we are focussing our project in the Pigeon Square area of Bedford, delivering workshops in the square and local cafes.

We’re using the humble homing pigeon as a symbol in exploring people’s heritage. The pigeons are one of the first things you see when you arrive at Bedford Bus Station which made us think, what decisions have been made in people’s families for them to move to Bedford?
