UK TOWN OF
CULTURE 2028
Caerphilly is bidding to become the UK’s first-ever Town of Culture and we need you to unleash your creativity and help shape a vision for the town’s future.
This is your invitation, Caerphilly residents and businesses, to have your say on what Caerphilly Culture means to you.
As part of a new national competition launched this year, one visionary town will be selected as UK Town of Culture for 2028 and receive £3 million to start a year-long programme of cultural celebrations.
Cynefin Caerffili is holding a series of events under the initiative “Calon Caerffili" for the people of Caerphilly to take part in the creation of the cultural programme which will be submitted in the competition bid on 31 March 2026. We urge you to join in person, but anyone who can’t attend the series of events will be invited to share their views digitally via this website.
If you live or work in Caerphilly, or have done in the past, please support us and contribute to the bid!
