BURNTWOOD is taking part in a national celebration for locations bidding to become UK Town of Culture 2028.

A postcard created is being shared as part of a nationwide showcase organised by the Department of Culture, Media and Sport.

Towns have been invited to use it to highlight what makes their place special – with Burntwood's entry featuring community events, choirs, creative projects and its mining heritage.

Cllr Darren Ennis, leader of Burntwood Town Council, said:

> "I’m really proud to see Burntwood taking part in this national celebration. Our postcard is bright, fun and full of character, just like our town.  
>  
> "Burntwood is a big town with a big heart and we do some amazing things. We have fantastic community groups, free events that bring people together, creative projects growing across the town and a real sense of pride in where we live.  
>  
> "What makes Burntwood special is that people here step up. They care about their town, they support each other, and they get involved. That is why I always say Burntwood is a town where community is culture.  
>  
> "This postcard is a great way to show that off and celebrate everything that makes Burntwood such a special place."

The postcards are being shared across social media and will also form part of a national collection in Liverpool.
