Made With Many marks a major milestone this May – 10 years of creativity, connection and community in Corby and Wellingborough.
This special anniversary celebration will bring together artists, partners, funders, and community members who’ve helped shape the journey so far – reflecting on a decade of creativity and looking ahead to an exciting future.
A decade of highlights
Since launching in 2015 as Made In Corby, the organisation has co-created bold, inclusive and locally-rooted arts experiences across Corby and Wellingborough. From large-scale festivals to neighbourhood workshops, every project has been driven by local voices and designed to inspire pride, wellbeing and cultural connection.

- 2018 – Launch of Grow Festival and a large-scale community procession
- 2019 – Over £200,000 secured to develop KHL Community Workshop
- 2020 – Rebranded to Made With Many and adapted to support communities through the pandemic in Corby and Wellingborough
- 2021 – Baby And Me, a digital creative space for new parents, launches
- 2022 – Corby Pole Fair delivered; Summer of Street Art introduces eight murals
- 2023 – First Family Arts Festival and the conclusion of Wellingborough Stories
- 2024 – Young people’s Canvas group stages one-day Well Creative festival
- 2025 – A bold new brand, refreshed website, and an exciting anniversary year
“We’re incredibly proud of everything we’ve achieved over the past decade,” said Made With Many Co-Director, Vicky Frayard. “Our journey has been about empowering people in our communities to make their voices heard through creativity. We’ve seen first-hand how the arts can bring people together and inspire positive change. Our anniversary event in May will reflect this spirit, with live performances, film, an exhibition and a few surprises.”
Looking ahead
This anniversary marks more than a milestone – it’s a springboard for the future. New initiatives like Inspiring Black Creativity, Limitless Creatives, and a collaboration with Folk Dance Remixed and Corby CAN signal an ongoing commitment to creative inclusion.
