Please note parking at Bretton Centre is available for a maximum of 4 hours.
About Artist Ideas to Disrupt Loneliness
In Autumn 2025, artists submitted their creative project ideas as part of The Unlonely City. Since then, and even before then, we’ve been thinking about how we can create unlonely cities through creativity, curiosity and just the right amount of chaos.

The Unlonely City is an arts programme disrupting loneliness, nurturing moments of solidarity, surprise and laughter. Through a series of artistic commissions, citizens assemblies, parties and public conversations, The Unlonely City takes place across Liverpool, Peterborough, and Southend, where Metal is based, to imagine what an ‘unlonely’ city could be.
The Unlonely City programme is funded by Paul Hamlyn Foundation as part of the Arts Award.
Suitable for ages 11+
