stirling’S cultural ambitions

Stirling’s cultural ambitions remain alive and well despite narrowly missing out on making the UK City of Culture 2025 shortlist.

At the heart of Stirling’s bid was a belief that culture and the arts can bring transformative, long-lasting change for all its communities through regeneration, innovation and investment.

This aspiration will continue to underpin Stirling’s bold cultural plans by drawing on the incredible dynamism, talent and creative spirit that flows through its communities.

Together we’ll make the arts more inclusive to all, break down barriers to participation, promote economic growth and regenerate our communities.
