Arts Council England has released an interactive map detailing a new geographic structure for Music Hub Areas.

The refreshed NPME (2022) stated that Music Hubs should become more strategic, with ‘a reduced number of Hub Lead Organisations establishing partners across wider geographical areas’ from September 2024. This is to create more diverse, dynamic partnerships and improve consistency across music education.

In December 2022 the ‘guiding principles’ for creating new Music Hub areas were published, and in January 2023 ACE conducted a survey and focus groups to gain feedback. Following this consultation, ACE shared their proposals for new Music Hub areas, seeking further feedback that had led to the latest announcement.
