 FEATURED FOR WINTER 2017:

 City of Culture bid!

 Stoke-on-Trent City Council has announced a major bid to win the title of UK City of Culture in 2021. The bid will cost �165,000 and will be submitted to government in spring 2017. The winning city is expected to be announced in the summer of 2017. Hull will get �13m for its UK City of Culture 2017, which might indicate the sort of funding Stoke-on-Trent could expect if our bid is successful.

In 1957 his father crawled through miles of frozen mud, barbed wire and land mines to escape. He eventually settled in Stoke-on-Trent. The Last Train to Budapest was made for �10,000, with a �6,000 National Lottery grant.
