A space for creativity, passion and place.
Alfreton has a wealth of talented, passionate and creative people. Our town has adapted and survived across centuries — from its agricultural roots to mining, textiles and the innovative businesses of today.
Alfreton CAN shines a light on the people, organisations, events, heritage, landscape and nature that make our town special. We are independent, informal and open to everyone.
