Over three months, UK Heritage Pulse is running The Big Think — a sector-wide conversation shaped around three critical questions, one each month. This is your opportunity to help set the agenda for the future of heritage.

Each month, you can choose how you want to contribute:

  • ✅ Share your views by agreeing or disagreeing with a short series of thought-provoking statements
  • 📝 Write your own reflections in your own words
  • 🎙️ Or send us a WhatsApp Voice Note if that’s more your style

Each month we’re gifting a National Art Pass worth £83, to two respondents.

A National Art Pass lets you enjoy free entry to hundreds of museums, galleries and historic houses across the UK as well as 50% off major exhibitions.
