Highly Sprung are delighted to have won in the national Community Rail Awards 2022, for best Community Engagement project. In partnership with Heart of England Community Rail Partnership, Coventry City Council and Avanti West Coast Rail.
In Transit was a newly commissioned performance, made in celebration of Coventry railway station. Together we marked the station’ 60th anniversary and also the opening of a new and improved wing. The show was presented in May 2022 as a part of Coventry Station Community Day – a celebration packed with fun activities and performances for all ages, looking ahead to a greener future for the city.
