What is being bought

Published requirement description

Competent suppliers are invited to tender for the design, development and delivery of a shared history and culture programme. The project will engage an experienced community facilitator to work collaboratively with children, exploring the lives and legacies of Giant Murphy (Patrick Murphy) and “Honest” John Martin. Through music, drama, visual art and storytelling, children will explore and re tell Rostrevor’s history in their own voices, connecting past and present while celebrating the town’s cultural heritage.
