Why does Broadway support the creative industries? It's a cinema, isn't it?

Well, yes, it is a cinema, but it is a different kind of cinema. People have always congregated at Broadway for a whole host of reasons and we are proud of the fact that it is part of the cultural life of Nottingham.

Supporting public creativity, whether that is for business or for wider cultural reasons, is what Broadway has always been about. We are proud to be part of the process whereby creative people contribute to the culture of our city. It is this that has helped make Broadway what it is today. So supporting creative industries kind of comes naturally to us.

Our most recent responses have been to consolidate and grow what we, you, us...the creative economy, have been informally doing together for a long time now.

We are looking forward to the future; to broadening the range of creative businesses that come to Broadway, and working with new generations of creative people so that we can continue to grow the creative industries culture of our city.
