The ‘big telly’ in Chamberlain square is to be taken down sometime this month, and planning discussions have been going on as to whether it would return. We now hear that it will, in Victoria square in “mid November”.

More news and linky when it’s confirmed, but it’s a great way to widen the talent base from the more conventional avenues of getting stuff shown.
