Redditch unveil Town of Culture postcard

REDDITCH Borough Council have unveiled their postcard as part of the bid for Town of Culture 2028.

Each area has created artwork to be displayed the official competition map.

They have also launched the Mapping Redditch’s Beating Heart of Culture, which is a powered by the passion of the community, capturing the places, stories, and moments that make Redditch what it is – past, present, and future.

If Redditch were to become the UK Town of Culture for 2028, it would mean an investment from government of £3million in the town to deliver a yearlong festival of culture with national and international profile.

Three towns will be shortlisted as finalists for the designation of Town of Culture 2028: one each of small, medium, and large towns.

Due to the population of Redditch, the town will fall into the large category.

Two follow-up winners will each be awarded £250k to support cultural activity.
