1of4 Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Derby are going to apply to become the next city of culture. Have we got a chance of winning?I Personally I think we need to sort out what is going to be done with the Assembly Rooms and the Becketwell Lane area before we have any chance of becoming the city of culture.

Becketwell is underway. I think we have a good chance of winning to be honest. There is a lot going on culturally in Derby if you can be bothered to look for it. We're clearly missing a proper performance venue but that will change by 2025 with the one going on Becketwell. I think the city centre will be a very different place in 2025 and using the City of Culture to relaunch it is a great idea. sheeponacid, GB SPORTS and rynny 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people have misunderstood what the City of Culture award is. Its not a prize for the city with the best theatres etc. It's a transformation title and process. Like most improved player. cstand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 One of seaside towns will win this nomination. Lots of stuff politically about coastal poverty and low education achievement. Politically they won't ignore that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live near Coventry and there's a lot of great stuff going on over there at the moment. It's actually impressive and Derby could do worse than to go for it. As for Coventry, yup it's a cheap and easy shot but The Specials, Two Tone, Delia Derbyshire, culturally diverse city. Look, I get it, sixties planning eyesore but there's enough there to make a pretty decent event out of and - to date - they're doing a pretty good job, even in all of what has been thrown at them.

Indy Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Just seen this tweet from the Minister for Culture. It lists “Derby County” as applying for the next European City of Culture (not “Derby” and not “Derbyshire”). What’s that all about, then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramarena Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 It’s Derby that’s entered not the club. Just the most useless government in memory getting something wrong again…… not separating Derby and County Durham in their graphic!
