The Resorting to the Coast Travelling Exhibition

Resorting to the Coast is inviting tenders for its travelling exhibition funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund in partnership with Essex County Council and Tendring District Council.

The Resorting to the Coast travelling exhibition will be important for engaging a wide audience in the seaside heritage of the Tendring coastal towns which is being explored through Resorting to the Coast (RTTC). The exhibition is taking place at this stage in the project to enable many different strands of work and activity already completed to be taken into account in informing the exhibition. It is the role of the exhibition to promote this work and the themes explored, developing content creatively and opening up engagement with as many different audiences as possible - both communities and visitors to the coastal towns.
