Our Work | August 28, 2025
Round Our Place Ravenscraig is created with the local community in North Lanarkshire to reflect on Ravenscraig’s past, present and possible futures.
Working with local residents, artists, young people and former steelworkers, the project explores what this post-industrial landscape means to the people who live, work and spend time here — and what it could become as plans for regeneration take shape.
Upcoming events
Exhibition: Built To Last – A Ravenscraig Performance
1 September – 17 November 2026
Bellshill Cultural Centre
John Street, Bellshill, ML4 1RJ
Ravenscraig is a landscape of significant industrial history. Today, the landscape is changing again. Industrial remnants sit alongside new development, open spaces, plants and wildlife. Through the Round our Place Ravenscraig project, participants have been invited to think about what this landscape means now and what it might become in the future.
The work in this exhibition brings together some of these different perspectives. There is no single story of Ravenscraig. Instead, these works show how a place can hold many stories at once – stories of work and industry, memory and loss, nature and regeneration, childhood and imagination, and ideas about what might come next.
Visiting the exhibition
Booking is not required — just come along. Opening times vary throughout the week, so please check before visiting.

A new SOUNDWALK
A new sound walk is being developed as a lasting legacy of the Built To Last walking performance.
It will allow people to explore Ravenscraig and experience the stories, sounds and creative work connected to the site for years to come.
More information coming soon.
The project so far
Round Our Place Ravenscraig launched in September 2024 as a pilot project bringing together local residents, artists, young people and former steelworkers.
Through walking workshops, creative storytelling and collaborative artworks, participants have explored Ravenscraig’s history, landscape and future.
2024–2025
The pilot project included a youth-led reimagining of Ravenscraig, large-scale stencil artwork and the creation of a sound walk combining music, interviews and local stories.
The sound walk launched in April 2025 alongside a community dance performance.
September 2025
Following the success of the pilot, we ran two new Walking Workshops as part of the Lanarkshire Climate Action Festival.
The walks explored both familiar and lesser-known parts of Ravenscraig. Together, we reflected 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 of Campfire History joined the walks to talk about Ravenscraig’s unique plants and encourage conversations about the natural environment.
May 2026
In May 2026, we presented Built To Last, a pilot walking performance across Ravenscraig featuring storytelling, sound, live music and contributions from local people and Tricky Hat artists.
September 2026
We hosted 2 walking workshops as part of the Lanarkshire Climate Action Festival.
