About UK Town of Culture

Following in the footsteps of UK City of Culture, the Department of Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) launched the first ever UK Town of Culture competition. There will be three finalists - one small, one medium, one large town that will be chosen. The winner will be crowned UK Town of Culture 2028 and receive a £3 million prize. The two runners-up will each receive £250,000 to deliver elements of their bid.

This competition provides a platform for communities across the country to tell their own unique story and shines a spotlight on the vital role towns play in our national life.

In this workshop we will:

· Learn more about what is UK Town of Culture

· Identify key nationally relevant stories which are unique to Grimsby that we want to tell

· Discover what activities you would like to see as delivered as part of UK Town of Culture.

Tea and Coffee will be provided.
