How long have you worked/had a business in the Town Centre?
Our group ArtWorks Art4All CIC moved into the town centre in November 2024.
Why did you get involved with Barrow BID?

Tell us something most people wouldn't know about you?
When I was 7 years old I met Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog at my local library. Some people said they weren’t the real ones!
Additonal Comments
