flag The UK is launching a 2028 Town of Culture competition with £3.5 million in funding to boost overlooked towns.

flag The UK has launched a competition to name a "Town of Culture" in 2028, offering £3.5 million in funding to boost jobs, investment, and creative development. flag Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy said the initiative aims to spotlight towns often overlooked, encouraging communities to apply based on their cultural narrative and program plans. flag The move follows the success of previous UK City of Culture titles, including Bradford 2025, which brought arts to rural areas, care homes, and public spaces through events like a nationwide drawing project and a theatrical performance by magician Steven Frayne. flag Expressions of interest for the 2029 UK City of Culture are already open, with applications for the 2028 Town of Culture competition expected soon.
