About Us
We are Wellington H2A (Heritage & Arts Alive) and we set ourselves up in 2007 to promote the role that arts and heritage could play in the town’s regeneration.
We’re a small and informal group that relies on a bunch of people across the town – including from several other voluntary organisations – to get things done. Our main activity has always been to host community events which bring live performance into the heart of the town. That started with Sounds in The Square (now reborn as Saturdays in The Square and run by our friends at Wellington Town Council), and led on to the Midsummer Fayre and Charter Day – both of which are now annual fixtures in the town’s calendar.
Outside of our events, we also try to support the general sprucing up of the town in other ways – from our Makers Dozen Mural Trail in 2017 to our Coronation Orchard in 2023 and our Conservation Area Guidance for businesses in 2024.
When we started two decades ago, efforts to promote the town and to bring its streets to life with music and creativity felt patchy at best. Today, we’re happy to say that we’re just a tiny part of the fantastic work that is helping to make Wellington the fun, friendly, hustling and bustling place it strives to be.
