🛠️🏴 Steel Spirit takes the stage—Corby’s Town of Culture bid has been submitted! 🛠️🏴
They promised us Wonderworld, a dream that left a generation asking "Wonder-when?" Well, Corby doesn't wait for dreams to be handed to us—we forge them ourselves.
We’ve survived the closures, we’ve built the Cube and welcomed new generations. Today, we are officially announcing our bid for UK Town of Culture 2028!
🏗️ Forged in Steel, Driven by Spirit
· Our heritage isn’t just history; it’s the grit and hard work that defines every artist, musician, and creator in this town.
· From the established Highland Gathering to the new Family Arts Festival, our roots, creativity and diversity make us a unique town in the UK
· No More "Wonder-when": We aren't waiting for a theme park to make us special. We are the attraction. Our community is the "Wonderworld" they tried to build back in the 80s.
They promised us a fantasy, but we built a reality. Now, it’s time to show the country the real magic of Corby.
The UK Town of Culture is a government led competition. The winning town will be awarded £3 million to deliver a cultural programme in 2028. Additionally, the two finalists from their category will receive £250,000.00 each to deliver their elements of their bid.
