As part of National Lottery Open Week, join Bryan Biggs, the Bluecoat’s Director of Cultural Legacies, for an exclusive tour of our Grade I listed building. Explore our remarkable 300-year history, from an 18th-century charity school to the UK’s first arts centre, and discover the heritage that has shaped our cultural legacy.
Since The National Lottery’s first draw in 1994, more than £50 billion has been raised for good causes, supporting heritage, arts, sport, film, and community projects across the UK. National Lottery Open Week celebrates the players whose support helps make projects like ours possible.
