The Heritage Alliance’s annual Heritage Day 2025 took place on Wednesday 5th March at the historic Tower of London. This flagship annual event brought together heritage leaders, professionals, and volunteers for a day of keynote speeches, panels, workshops, and networking opportunities, all centred around the theme ‘Heritage Creates’ – a celebration of how heritage fosters creativity and innovation.
Attendees gained early access to the Heritage Creates 2025 report. The report provides timely insight into the latest evidence on the interconnected nature of heritage and the creative industries, featuring case studies from the breadth of the heritage sector in collaboration with the film, fashion, animation, creative health, music and immersive technology industries.
This report is organised into five thematic chapters, each of which focuses on a particular dimension of the relationship between the heritage sector and the creative industries:
•Heritage as a Host
•Heritage as a Muse
•Heritage as a Creative Practice
•Innovative Partnerships
•Inclusive Partnerships
The report highlights case studies relating to the topics and includes Heritage Network members Wentworth Woodhouse Preservation Trust.
