Legal Justification
In May 2027, a 24-ft puppet of the BFG will journey across the UK, bringing communities together through the magic of storytelling. Inspired by Roald Dahl's beloved story, Giant Dreams will be a large-scale public art event, produced by Artichoke in collaboration with Roald Dahl Story Company. In the lead-up to the event, every primary-school-aged child in the UK will be invited to share their dreams through a creative engagement programme delivered in partnership with National Literacy Trust. During the National Year of Reading 2026, The Council will partner with The Supplier to host Giant Dreams - Phase 1 (the initial stage of the Giant Dreams, March-December 2026). This will build on the previous collaborations for Sanctuary (2022) & Creative Explorers (2023-2025).The Council will act as the test-bed for activities ahead of national scaling, positioning the region at the heart of creative practice in an ambitious, UK-wide project. The Council will also feature as a stop on the tour route in Phase 2 (January-September 2027).
