High Street Positives launch Dots: Conversations Shaping the High Street in Ashford on Thursday 26 November

Held at Loop, The Big Picture’s exciting new destination in the heart of Ashford, High Street Positives is launching Join the Dots: Conversations Shaping the High Street on Thursday 26 November.

This event offers a unique opportunity to be among the first people to experience the space the day before it officially opens. Attendees will get a preview of this new town centre destination, bringing together cinema, food and drink, social games, live events and flexible workspaces, creating a new place for people to connect, spend time and enjoy Ashford.

With support from Ashford Borough Council and the Loop team, High Street Positives will bring together people from across the high street ecosystem, including retailers, property owners, developers, councils, community groups, businesses and local leaders, to connect, share ideas and explore the opportunities ahead for our high streets.

Through conversations, networking and examples of innovation and collaboration, we’ll explore how storytelling, media, confidence and collaboration can help shape the future of our high streets. We’ll look at how different parts of the ecosystem, from town centres and retail parks to landlords, businesses, communities and investors, can join up the conversation and work together to create thriving places for the future.

The event will showcase the art of the possible, sharing ideas and examples from Ashford and beyond, while connecting people locally and nationally who care about the future of our high streets.
Whether you’re a retailer, landlord, property professional, community organisation, education provider, local business, investor, policymaker or simply passionate about the future of our high streets, we’d love you to join us. 

Tickets can be booked via Eventbrite.
