Following on from the success of Liquid Assets, we were asked to design and deliver an arts programme to complement the major refurbishment of the Lido, funded through the Heritage Lottery Bid. Creative Solutions have run participatory arts programmes with local schools and colleges and have created major new artworks for the site, most notably the Living Archive, a permanent interactive media display. The after dark celebratory arts event, Revive, attracted over 300 people.

A combination of exciting and experimental storytelling though film will lead to the creation of an interactive DVD which is a resource and learning tool for the castle. Young people from local estates worked with Creative Solutions to develop ghost /mystery stories that drew upon a combination of historical fact, urban myth and oral histories. The then developed a ghost story which is on permanent display at the castle, as well as having a night time premier on site.

A cross-generational project celebrating 70 years of Cheltenham Lido in October 2005. Historical sources inspired workshops in film, sound, creative writing and visual arts. Artworks created included installations in the changing room cubicles, video projection and sound, and culminated in a magical evening event.
