Our vision is to be the world’s most inspiring centre for the arts by making music, visual arts, dance, performance and literature available to all and to create the world’s leading festival site which offers millions of people the opportunity to enjoy, learn and take part.  Diversity and inclusion are vital to all aspects of our activities - from the breadth of our artistic programmes, through attracting the audiences from the widest range of communities to the diverse people within our own workforce, we seek to reflect our place as a local, national and global centre for the arts for everyone.
