The Cornish towns bidding to be cultural kings

Five Cornish towns are bidding to be formally recognised as the UK's inaugural Town of Culture in 2028. We went on a trip around the county to find out why they want the title.

The government is inviting bids to win a £3m prize to stage a year of cultural activities and support the creative sector locally.

Communities have until the end of March to bid for the accolade with a final shortlist of one big, one medium, and one small-sized town making it to the final three.
