Our new website – a space for Luton’s creative talent
We’ve got a treat for you. Over the last few months, we’ve been working away on our new website, and we are excited to share that it’s now live. Do take a look.

We wanted to create a vibrant resource of the work we’re making with you, our creatives, artists and communities in Luton, and beyond. We also wanted to make sure this presented local creatives with an opportunity. So, we’ve created a platform for Luton’s creative talent. It’s a new way for us to share new work from creators and artists collaborating with Revoluton. Here you can check out work created by our Young Revolutonaries and more, including Luton Town, a short film and poem by Hayley Bromell and documentary film Made in Luton, by Sonia Chowdhury and Hidden Tiger Films.
We want to thank Bloomberg Philanthropies, as their support has made this new website possible. We also want to highlight how a sense of place has permeated into the design. The typeface we selected, called Sora, was created by a Lutonian and our designer grew up in the area.
Listen to Applied Stories and Luton producer Shemia Rashid’s The Museum of Stories, a community-led audio walk featuring real people’s stories about Bury Park, Luton. The audio dramas were recorded in Revoluton’s new digital edit suite – supported via Bloomberg Philanthropies – and performed by Lutonians, including residents whose stories have been dramatised.
The driving force for our work is reflected in our name – Revoluton. We are here to unite communities and creatives, to work together and make a positive difference to where we live. Our values of agency, belonging, connection, creativity and opportunity shape everything we do. As you look through our new website – as I hope you will – take a look at some of these projects and events we’ve created or supported over the last year, which have brought so many people together.
Last year, we built on the popularity of Open Mic Night and launched our new year-round programme For Creatives 16 – 30. In May, for three nights, our home at Marsh House was transformed into Club Revoluton, honouring the script developed with young people during the pandemic with writer James McDermott.
We feel passionately about bringing people together. Our annual outdoor spectaculars with Global Streets bring together thousands of people. In November 2023, the giant Lampadophores puppets visited to light up Luton. Check out the gallery of fantastic images from the night.
Nurturing talent, promoting everyday creativity, and producing creative work made in Luton is the bedrock of our work. In 2023, we supported our first cohort of Revoluton Associates to develop projects with Luton’s residents and we’re looking forward to working with our 2024 cohort. If you’re a local artist passionate about creating work with communities, keep an eye out for our future opportunities.
We hope you enjoy exploring our new website, listening to and watching great work by artists and creatives, made in Luton.
Lindsey Pugh, CEO and Creative Director, and all at the Revoluton team
