In mid-March, just before the lockdown, we were thrilled to announce the success of Exeter Canal and Quay Trust’s bid to Arts Council England National Lottery Projects towards a further two years of Quay Words at Exeter Custom House. This fantastic support, combined with a significant investment by Exeter Canal and Quay Trust secures the continued development of an accessible, democratic and hands-on literature hub at this iconic Exeter location. Quay Words showcases literature as a diverse art form and is a central pillar of Exeter’s successful bid to gain UNESCO City of Literature status.

Working with a strong coalition of Exeter collaborators, we can forge ahead with a range of exciting plans, all very much based on what audiences and participants told us during consultations and the pilot phase. Read more about our plans, here.
