What support will the Welsh Government provide to Caerleon’s bid for UK Town of Culture 2028?
Answered by Trefnydd, Chief Whip and Cabinet Minister for Culture and Sport | Answered on 26/06/2026

The UK Government is expected to announce a shortlist in due course. The Welsh Government will then engage with all shortlisted towns in Wales.
