2025 archive: An online High Peak Creative Forum was advertised for 9 June 2025 to help develop a cultural strategy.

High Peak Borough Council later invited residents to share their views on arts, culture and heritage in a public consultation. It asked about activities people enjoy, their interests and barriers to participation.

On 4 December 2025, the council’s executive approved the cultural strategy and implementation of its action plan, with authority for final textual changes after further committee consideration.
