In the charity's own words
The Broxbourne Arts Forum supplements the Borough's own programme of events by providing concerts, plays, operas which would not otherwise be performed. We engage a pianist at lunchtimes in the Spotlight Bar. We organise watercolour classes for local residents and we promote local artists' work by arranging displays. We also act as an umbrella organisation for arts groups within the Borough.
