Have your say

Bowl gigCulture Swindon wants to know what you would like to see at next year's Bowl Concerts.

Swindon Borough Council has been running the Bowl Concerts annually in the Town Gardens for a number of years now and Culture Swindon currently programme a variety of world music events. We would like to find out from you the type of concerts you would like to see taking place.

You are invited to participate in our survey that will contribute towards the planning of future Bowl Concerts. In this study, people from all different backgrounds, ethnic groups, age and ability will be asked to complete a survey that asks questions about their interests with specific forms of music, their participation and the barriers that they may encounter while deciding to participate in these concerts. Your participation in this study is completely voluntary and survey responses will be strictly confidential and data from this research will only be used by Culture Swindon.

If you have any questions at any time about the study or the procedures, you may contact the Arts Centre and speak to Nicki Western on 01793 466565 or by email nwestern@swindon.gov.uk
