CONNECTIONS with Jamie Dormer-Durling

11 & 12 August 2026 | 11am-4pm | FREE

Burton 2101

To celebrate our 75th anniversary, we are looking ahead at what the next 75 years might look like for The Burton, taking us to the year 2101. To inform a long-term strategy for our work, we are organising four artist-led events inviting you to join the conversation and share your ideas on our past, present and future. This is the second event in a series to mark The Burton’s 75th anniversary.

CONNECTIONS:

What does The Burton mean to you?
What have you experienced here?
Who have you met?

Maybe you met the love of your life here! Or have bought something here that is very important to you. Maybe a visit here changed your outlook on life or your career path. 

Socially-engaged photographer Jamie Dormer-Durling will be at The Burton on 11 & 12 August, speaking with visitors and passers-by, making portraits and collecting thoughts about what The Burton means to our local community. Drop by and tell us a story or draw us a picture. 

You’re welcome to bring along photographs or objects which illustrate your connection to The Burton. We’d love to see old photographs of the building, or events that have happened here over the last 75 years.
