As the search for the UK’s first town of culture gets under way, The Guardian is inviting readers to nominate their favourite towns. The initiative aims to highlight cultural offerings beyond major cities.
Guardian writers have already put forward their own suggestions, including Ramsgate in Kent, Falmouth in Cornwall, Abergavenny in Monmouthshire, and Portobello in Edinburgh. Each town was chosen for its distinctive cultural scene.
Readers are encouraged to submit their own nominations via an online form, explaining why their chosen town deserves the title. The winning town will be announced later this year, with the aim of boosting local tourism and cultural engagement.
The call for nominations comes as part of a broader effort to celebrate regional culture across the UK. The closing date for entries has not yet been specified.
