Arts, crafts and such
  • Art? In Harlow?
  • The range is good for getting canvas boards and paint brushes etc.. also the candel shop in post office walk
  • candlerama
  • Loads of sculptures by Henry Moore and others which are constantly being vandalised by the local holigans
  • nothing good around, youd really be best going to the tate modern or something like that...
  • Incredibly, Harlow has a few million quid's worth of sculpture - including Hepworth, Riley and Moore - but most are badly vandalised. Craft shops open up and fail most weeks.
  • The Playhouse Theatre - Back on its feet now. Was Going to close down for a while but it is now winning lots of business awards and is in rehearsals for Dick Whittington......Again......Should Be Fun?!
  • There is absolutely nothing in this town for the more cultured, though it does have a museum! A visit to the museum shows how harlow came about. It is not big, it is signposted by the council yet when you arrive it is as good as a shed on a wasteland. You come out of there hating Harlow even more.
  • harlow has dedicated itself towards developing the arts,including graffiti arts(but not tagging or illegal graffiti since dot)and i can prove this as i am the councils resident graffiti/street artist!and have done some really good work with young offenders/youth groups from harlow through to europe and am actually bringing down the amount of illegal writing in the town!
  • the candle shop in post office walk is cool.
  • Silver Scents, nr the Playhouse. Caters for the students.
  • art...yep. We've the highest concentration sculpture per capita per head here ~ Henry Moore, Auguste Rodin ,to mention but a few. All locally and easily accessible. Not that the locals really appreciate it though..
  • there was once a statue of Henry moore's family group in the square by the library, until someone kicked the baby's head off,thus launching a national newspaper frenzy. the culprits were never brought to justice which was cool because one of them is my best mate.
  • Capricorn 2. A mad shop in the Harvey centre. Anything like candles and stuff.
  • Candlerama in Post Office Walk is an excellent new Candle, Oilburners and the like, Shop
  • Not really Harlows better for pound shops!
  • Silver Scents - Harvey center. Spend my whole life in there.
