There's a new competition for a Town of Culture being launched by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. The first winner will be in 2028. This follows the success of the City of Culture programme. There are three categories, for small, medium and large towns, and the cut off date to express an interest is 31st March. After that, the short-listed towns will get £60,000 to develop a full bid. The winning town will receive three million pounds to develop a cultural programme in 2028, with two runners up getting £250,000 each.
Hay has plenty of culture, so the Town Council are putting a bid forward.
If anyone would like to get involved, they should contact townclerk@haytowncouncil.gov.uk
Fiona Howard has already suggested Richard Booth: The Musical!
