Enlisting Harry Styles to Back Redditch Town of Culture Bid

I have written to global superstar Harry Styles, urging his support for Redditch’s bid to become UK Town of Culture 2028.

In my letter, I described the bid as a once-in-a-generation opportunity to celebrate Redditch’s unique heritage - from its needle-making history to its musical legacy as the birthplace of Styles and Led Zeppelin’s John Bonham. I highlighted local assets like the Palace Theatre and Arrow Valley Park and called on Styles to inspire young people and put Redditch on the national stage.

This is our moment. Together, we can showcase what makes Redditch special and create real opportunities for the future. I encouraged residents and businesses to rally behind the campaign.
