The Milton Keynes Rose is marking its tenth year since opening and nominations for a new Pillar dedication unfurling more about MK’s story are being sought now.
The Milton Keynes Rose is located in central city, Campbell Park and is a public space designed for commemoration, celebration, and contemplation.
In the past a Pillar Panel has met every two years to look at new suggestions coming forward from the community to grow and expand what's remembered or celebrated. An engraving will take place in 2025 with the next engraving planned for 2030.
This tenth Pillar dedication is part of a yearlong celebration marking ten years since the opening of the Milton Keynes Rose. Memories and memorabilia are also being sought to form an archive. A film screening telling the story of the Milton Keynes Rose, and a pop-up exhibition will take place at MK Gallery during Heritage Open Days on Friday September 13.
If residents can think of a date significant in the lives of people or organisations associated with Milton Keynes past or present with reasons for the nomination, please send this to miltonkeynesrose@gmail.com.
You can Nominate a Pillar (miltonkeynesrose.org.uk) online now, until Monday 16th September 2024.
