In May 2022, a unique public memorial was built in by local community Bedworth, ‘the town that never forgets’ – birthplace of George Eliot and home to the country’s largest Armistice Day Parade. Sanctuary stood as an unforgettable temporary structure and space of healing, built by the local community to
commemorate the nation’s loss during COVID.

Sanctuary was produced by Artichoke in association with Imagineer, supported by Nuneaton &
Bedworth Borough Council, Warwickshire County Council, and the DCMS Culture Recovery
Fund.
