Spotlighting Herchester

Last month, our friends at Reform Radio took the reins of Arts Council England’s Instagram for a takeover, exploring the HERchesterproject that we were proud to be a part of.
HERchester was born in 2019 with a goal of bringing together female MC talent. This year they piloted the programme for across four cities – Manchester, Sheffield, Morecambe and Blackpool, connecting and collaborating with organisations Ritetrax, House of Wingz and More Music.
