Our Work | August 28, 2025
Round Our Place Ravenscraig is created with the local community to reflect on Ravenscraig’s past, present and dreams for the future.
This post-industrial land is at a pivotal moment for its surrounding community with plans for regeneration. Progressing from the pilot phase of the project, we’re now looking for people from North Lanarkshire to work with us towards creating a Spring 2026 live perfomance and a sound walk of the entire site.
Following the success of the pilot, the next phase of Round Our Place begins in September 2025 with two new Walking Workshops on Sunday 14th and Sunday 21st, September 1–3 PM, as part of the Lanarkshire Climate Action Festival. These walks will explore both familiar and lesser-known parts of Ravenscraig, guided by members of the local community. Together, we’ll reflect on biodiversity, the history of the land, regeneration, and our shared identity and connection to this evolving landscape. Local conservationists Hamshya Rajkumar and Graham Butt (Campfire History) will join us to highlight Ravenscraig’s unique plants and spark conversations with the walkers.

More about the pilot phase…
Launched in September 2024, the pilot brought together residents, artists, young people, and former steelworkers through Walking Workshops, creative storytelling, and collaborative artworks.
Highlights included a youth-led reimagining of Ravenscraig, large-scale stencil art, and the creation of a geo-located Soundwalk combining music, interviews, and local stories — launched in April 2025 with a community dance performance.
This project is led by Tricky Hat Associate Artist, Kim Beveridge, who was born, raised, lives and works in North Lanarkshire.
Round Our Place Ravenscraig is funded by Creative Scotland, and developed in partnership with North Lanarkshire Council and Measuring Humanity at The University of Edinburgh.
