Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 5 Nov, 07:32 · Archive
A project called Fulford Journey aims to transform Fishergate and Fulford Road in York into a thriving neighbourhood like Bishy Road.
An ambitious project to transform Fishergate and Fulford Road in York into a thriving neighbourhood is underway. The scheme, called Fulford Journey, is led by Jeff Clark of Art of Protest Projects and co-creators Black Hat Studios, with funding from sources including the York & North Yorkshire Combined Authority.
The project will create an online directory of local businesses and artistic talent to raise the profile of the area. A three-day festival is planned for next year, organised in a similar way to the successful AcombFest in July. The festival will be based at various key locations along the Fishergate and Fulford Road corridor, with venues including The Plough and Jorvine, the Middle bar, Fulford Arms and The Lighthorseman pub.
Jeff Clark said the stretch between Fishergate and Fulford was long and contained many local places to eat, drink and shop, but they did not appear to be connected to each other. 'We looked to see what we could do to support them,' he said. The project aims to put local businesses and creative talents on the map and drive footfall to the area.
