With a strong desire to raise the profile of the city and its high streets, PHPS has created a range of events and initiatives that are building skills, jobs and commercial opportunities within the entertainment, technical and third sectors.

These include PH in the Community to champion emerging artists;,Honey Box which is a monthly live stream broadcast to help emerging artists access new audiences and the Connects Network which provides informal, cross sector business networking in the heart of the city centre and high street from Smithfield Works. These monthly networking events regularly attract more than 20 businesses who support each other, creating a positive impact for local economy, confidence and jobs.
