Applications for UK Town of Culture 2028 will be judged on three main criteria:

  • Your story - the unique story of the town
  • Culture for everyone - how the town will design a cultural programme for all 
  • Making it happen -  how the town will then deliver a successful programme  
 

The bids for the 2028 title will be assessed by an independent expert advisory panel chaired by Sir Phil Redmond. Recruitment for the wider panel members will open shortly, and we encourage applicants from across the UK. Further details will be available in due course. 

Applications will be open until 31 March 2026 for Expressions of Interest
