New banners showcase town's cultural offer

This initiative aims to highlight the location of Harborough Museum and Market Harborough Library, along with other businesses housed within this historic landmark, while enhancing the visibility of Market Harborough's Cultural Quarter.

Located in the heart of Market Harborough's Cultural Quarter, The Symington Building has long been a focal point for locals and visitors alike. The addition of these new banners is expected to not only draw attention to the building's historical significance but also raise awareness of the diverse range of businesses it hosts.

Cllr Jo Asher, Cabinet lead for Culture, Leisure, Economy and Tourism, said: “The Symington Building is a cherished landmark in Market Harborough, and these new banners will further enhance its appeal as a cultural hub. By promoting the museum, library, and other businesses housed within the building, we are celebrating our town's heritage and encouraging residents and tourists to discover the treasures it holds."
