We are surrounded by inspiration and have welcomed visitors to our shores through the centuries to enjoy all we have to share – and this is why we are bidding to be the UK City of Culture 2025.

Winning this accolade will bring incredible benefits as we showcase our rich and multi-layered culture, building investment, jobs and new opportunities, and making connections – and we can all make this exciting journey together.

Our people are the beating heart of our bid, so whoever you are, whatever you do, whether you live, work or study here, young and old alike, we need you with us.

Be involved. Give us your ideas, your support, let us know what you think is great about our area, what inspires you, what you’d like to see happen to make life more fun, more meaningful, more enjoyable and richer in every sense.

Together we can build an amazing programme of fantastic activities – from theatre, dance, music and art, to literature and the spoken word, heritage, technology, food and sport, and the big outdoors – not just for 2025 but for the years ahead, which will promote us to the world and share our special place.
