Celebrating the power of towns
The UK Town of Culture
The UK Town of Culture competition is a national initiative led by the Department for Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS).
It has been created to recognise and celebrate towns that have made a significant contribution to the cultural life of the United Kingdom, and that have the ambition to do even more.
The competition shines a spotlight on towns that can demonstrate:
- A distinctive cultural story
- Strong community engagement
- Ambitious and deliverable plans
- Clear local partnerships
- Long-term legacy potential
