The shortlist for the next UK City of Culture title in 2021 has been announced.
The five names on the shortlist are Coventry, Paisley, Stoke-on-Trent, Sunderland and Swansea.
The title will be announced in December, with the winning city receiving a £3m Heritage Lottery grant.
Minister for Arts, Heritage and Tourism, John Glenn, says: “I have seen first-hand how Hull has embraced its status as City of Culture 2017, and how beneficial it has been for the area. I am looking forward to seeing what will come in 2021.”
