Liverpool named Capital of Culture
Liverpool has been named European Capital of Culture 2008 by Culture Secretary Tessa Jowell.
The award will boost tourism in the area, as well as increasing investment. The UK’s last City of Culture was Glasgow in 1990, which saw a massive increase in tourism as a result of winning the title.
Liverpool saw off competition from five other UK cities – Bristol, Birmingham, Cardiff, Oxford and Newcastle-Gateshead – the bookies favourite, to win the prize. The northern city managed to shrug-off it’s post-industrial image, with regeneration projects like the waterfront development, which features a Tate art gallery.
The win means the city will secure European and lottery funding towards hosting a year-long festival in 2008 featuring music, art, theatre, film, literature, food, fashion and science.
