Enfield Council serves more than 330,000 residents across 25 wards in North London. As an Arts Council England Priority Place, the council is committed to embedding culture in everyday life, widening participation, and supporting creative talent—especially among young people and underrepresented groups.
The borough’s cultural strategy, Culture Connects, focuses on three key priorities:
- Inclusive Culture – ensuring everyone can access and participate in culture locally, with activity that celebrates Enfield’s people, heritage, and places.
- Young People and Talent – developing creative skills, education, and career pathways that inspire and empower young residents.
- A Thriving Cultural Economy – growing sustainable creative businesses, partnerships, and cultural infrastructure across town centres and high streets.
Enfield is one of London’s most diverse boroughs, with a rich mix of cultures, ages, and experiences. The council invests in inclusive cultural programmes that reflect its communities, foster civic pride, and use creativity as a force for social and economic renewal.
