Have your say on part you could play in UK Town of Culture process

                 * Have your say at the railway between 9am and 10am.

This Saturday you can have your say on how the voice of the local community is heard in the current UK Town of Culture competition.

At a packed public meeting in the Town Hall last month it was unanimously decided that Llangollen should go ahead with a bid to win the coveted title and land prize money of up to £3 million.

At its last meeting the Town Council, which is spearheading the process, approved the submission of an official expression of interest in the competition, which is being run by the UK Government's Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) for towns in Wales, England, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

* Have your say at the Town Hall from 10.30am until 3.30pm.

Finalists and the winning town will be announced in early 2027. The delivery year will be 2028.

This Saturday researchers working on behalf of the DCMS will be at Llangollen Railway Station between 9 and 10am, located outside the café on Platform 1, to hear your views on how the public should help choose between the towns in the competition and their bids.

Afterwards, the researchers will continue the conversation at Llangollen Town Hall from 10.30am until 3.30pm.
