​​Barts Fair and MotS

​​​+MotS index​ 

​​

​​Linked project ideas:

• ​​Restaging Bartholomew Fair as an event 

• ​​Curating guides, walks, events and virtual tours - Museum of the Streets

• ​​A museum and community information hub at the Library or elsewhere

​​

​​In practice: 

• ​​The Bartholomew Fair event in September 2023. 

• ​​Existing maps, guides, history, media curated online - with displays at a hub

• ​​Experiments with A/R and V/R

• ​​Scope for community engagement, and a learning community

​​

​​What we have already:

• ​​Keen interest and commitment to the Fair from Barts900 and other interests

• ​​Experiments combining maps, walks and media to explore EC1, undertaken since 2019

• ​​Interest in collaboration on MotS from the EC1 Echo, The City Courant magazine, Culture Mile BID, Peel Institute, Footways project, Barbican Library, guides, Living Maps Network.

​​

​​Decisions:

• ​​Possible scope and scale of the Fair. Who leads. Supporting group.

• ​​Possible development of Museum of the Streets, and information hub

• ​​How to link with Destination City and BID plans 

​​
