THE SPACE BETWEEN – FINDHORN BAY ARTS COMMUNITY CONSULTATION SURVEY QUESTIONS

After successfully running our pilot multipurpose pop-up shop, mini market and facilitating food events for four years, we are undertaking a feasibility study to explore the options for the future and viability of the shop and the potential of developing a new multipurpose space for Forres.

We are running a series of pop-up drop-in sessions at our shop in the High Street of Forres for 3 days, from Thu 27 – Sat 29 April (10am to 3pm) to gather feedback from the general public and our customers, local food producers, growers, makers, creatives, local businesses and other members of the wide Moray community.

Please come down to see us - we will be giving away freebies and goodies to thank you for your time.

We are also gathering feedback via this short anonymous survey - and we would be delighted if you would share your views below on what you thought worked well and what you would like to see happen next.

Please take a few moments to complete this survey for us and feel free to share this survey with whom you know that could be interested. It is much appreciated. Your feedback will help us immensely.

Thank you in advance for completing this survey.
