Imagine Festival of the Arts will run from 15th – 30th October 2016 and offer a number of events based around the works of writer HG Wells, who lived in the borough during his most successful years.
In their own words:
“Did you know H G Wells lived in Sutton, and inspired the first liquid fueled rocket which resulted in the Apollo 11 moon landing 71 years later? Wells also wrote about aliens, class, politics and won the Nobel prize in literature four times. If you feel inspired see our grants application, and Imagine page for more details, including guidleines on how to create your own H G Wells inspired event with a grant of up to £800. “
