Town of Culture Bid

Let’s Make Richmond UK Town of Culture 2028

Imagine... a year of culture shaped by Richmond's people, starting with YOU

Richmond is bidding to become UK Town of Culture 2028 – and something remarkable is already happening. Across the town, people are connecting, sharing stories, and discovering new aspects of what makes Richmond shine. That's not just a bid. That's a community finding its voice.

Winning would bring £3 million for festivals, performances, exhibitions, and community celebrations – and lasting change for Richmond's future. But whatever the outcome, the conversations we're starting now are already making Richmond stronger.

So tell us: how do YOU reimagine Richmond? What do you love about this town? What would you love to see here? Your ideas and stories will shape our bid – and Richmond's next chapter.
