TOWN Observatory – Loughborough Heritage Open Weekend
Enterprise, The Coneries, Loughborough, Leicestershire, LE11 1DZ
The TOWN Observatory team will showcase recent projects that are currently in progress as well as those that have recently been completed. Many of these projects result from collaborative efforts with local communities. The team will provide explanations and discussions of various aspects of the projects and will also host presentations on ongoing research conducted by our researchers.
The TOWN Observatory launched on 10 April 2025 after a period of two years in development. It stemmed from the formation of The Impact Hub, a three-year project (2023-2026) intended to establish an observatory for Loughborough that would monitor changes to support the town’s future resilience.
The project, in partnership with Charnwood Borough Council and several external consultants, is part of Healthy and Innovative Loughborough, a £2.46 million initiative led by Loughborough University funded by the Loughborough Town Deal (2023–2026), aimed at creating jobs, supporting new businesses, and making local people healthier.
