Southampton - City Of Culture

It has been reported in the local press that Southampton City Council are actively being urged to put in a bid to become the UK’s first City Of Culture. Apparently the Culture Secretary Ben Bradshaw, who launched a national competition to choose the first holder of the title yesterday, said that Southampton had “very strong cultural traditions and cultural heritage” and – if it put together a bid – would be seriously considered.

Southampton City Council has already announced its intensions that it wants to make a joint bid along with Portsmouth City Council to become a European Capital of Culture.

It is hoped the winning UK City of Culture will become a focus for national attention in 2013, the first year of the competition, hosting a string of high-profile events including the Turner Prize, BBC Sports Personality of the Year, The Brits and the Stirling Prize.
