Imagine

A community space offering free books, art displays, and opportunity

imaGine was set up by Transition Evesham Vale to provide a community meeting place in the heart of Evesham. Based in the former 'Homestyle' shop in the Market Square, it provided a shop window for local events and community organisations. Established as an experiment in communication and public engagement it offered an exciting range of attractions including the following:

'Books for Free' - an initiative to give readers a source of books, and reduce the quantities going to landfill.
Community Art - a place for local artists to display their work and meet fellow artists from Evesham and the Vale.
Artists workshops offering free tuition and friendship amongst likeminded artists
Roundabout Furniture - a town centre presence for the wonderful furniture re-use charity based in Blackminster
Since opening in 2013 we have had a variety of event including:
A display by Evesham Civic Society sharing thoughts and ideas for their future vision of Evesham
Thinkers' corner - a meeting of minds and a place for enlightened conversation
A 'Repair Café' where you bring along things that need mending, and repairers bring them back to life.
Having enjoyed the use of our premises in Market Place Evesham for nearly 4 years, we vacated the building on 13th January 2017. Many of our activities will live on - Repair Cafe will be moving to a new venue, Transition Evesham Vale (TEV) initiatives will continue helping people and communities shift towards a more sustainable future, by growing and eating more local food, reducing their energy consumption, and adopting lower-carbon means of transport. imaGine provided a catalyst for change, working with local communities, exploring sustainability, discovering how we can work together for a healthier, happier, lower carbon future. The spirit of imaGine will live on through this page, and through the continued efforts of everyone involved.
