I spend a lot of time going to events where people talk about the way you can get an economy going and connect it to culture, society, ideas, and beauty; but few people are as articulate or effective at this than Eden Arts. We are really lucky to have Adrian and his team delivering inspiring ideas and making them reality, and I would love to see more local businesses engaging with Eden Arts on their projects""Eden Arts is a national gem, right here in Penrith, and they have a fantastic ability – to create new traditions, to keep young people connected, to encourage visitors, and to show the rest of the country what rural Britain can be.” Rory Stewart MP March 2016
