New BETA X project celebrating Leicester's Industrial History


Leicester’s roots in design and making date back hundreds of years and is still part of its identity today.

To celebrate this rich history, the Leicester Heritage Action Zone (in collaboration with Leicester City Council and the LCB Depot) is hosting BETA X, a one-month programme of engaging events around sustainable design, making and cultural performance.
