Creative Dorset -

Creative Dorset continues to play an active role in supporting and developing the creative industries across Dorset, Bournemouth and Poole.

What we do is shaped and guided by the active participation of people working in the sector. We have recently worked with the Tom Fleming Creative Consultancy to survey the sector and update our vision of where the future work of the company will take us.

We are now working closely with the Dorset Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP). The LEP is a business led partnership to promote economic development and the creative industries are recognised as a key sector for the Dorset economy. You can find out more about the Dorset LEP here.
