It feels a little like the night before Christmas here in Southampton tonight, as we welcome the #CityofCulture2025 judges @DCMS to our beloved city tomorrow. We've come together like never before, and we have got to the final 4. Now it's time to show that we can #MakeItSO

[Southampton Forward @SotonForward]

Southampton is a young city. Nearly 20% of Southampton’s population is aged between 15 and 24 years, and 4,000 Sotonians will reach the age of 18 in 2025.
A successful bid will empower them with the best cultural and economic opportunities possible!
