Borough of Culture is awarded annually on a rotational basis to one of the six local authorities that make up the Liverpool City Region, as part of the Combined Authority’s culture programme. The Borough of Culture is part of the 1% for Culture initiative which commits at least 1% of the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority’s annual gainshare funding (£300k) to cultural projects and activities. Wirral’s Borough of Culture 2024 programme is part-funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund with the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority as the lead authority. Borough of Culture is supported by Wirral Council and a range of local partners.
