UK Town of Culture is a newly launched national initiative, with the first title set to be awarded for 2028. Three towns will be selected, with two runners-up each receiving £250,000, and the winning town receiving £3 million to invest in a year of culture in 2028.

A group of creative and cultural organisations based in Morecambe are working alongside collaborators from sectors including health, education, young people and the third sector to shape the narrative and build a compelling bid.

@morecambewintergardensofficial, @moremusic1 and @decopublique are supporting this work and seeking ideas and input from artists, creatives, businesses and residents from across Morecambe.

You can visit our online portal to share ideas via the link in our bio.

Want to chat in person? A drop-in session will be held at Morecambe Library from 2–4 pm on Monday, 23 March, for anyone interested in finding out more and sharing their vision.
