A digital postcard from Abergavenny has been sent to the Department for Culture, Media and Sport as part of the town’s bid to be named UK Town of Culture.

Following the submission deadline earlier this year, it has been confirmed that Abergavenny has officially entered the competition alongside dozens of others from across Wales and the United Kingdom.

The postcard, which proudly depicts the Town Hall, Angel Hotel, War Memorial and other iconic sites from across the town, sets them against the backdrop of the Skirrid, Sugar Loaf and Blorenge.

“In celebration of our town’s culture and heritage, we have submitted a digital postcard to the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS),” an Abergavenny Town Council Spokesperson said.

“You will be able to view our entry alongside others from across the country on the official UK Town of Culture Digital Map.”
