Discover Uttlesford is proud to support Saffron Walden’s Town of Culture 2028 bid – a town where history and creativity are part of everyday life. From the grandeur of Audley End House to the charm of Fairycroft House Arts and Media Centre, and from the inspiring collections at Saffron Walden Museum to the creativity of the Fry Art Gallery, heritage is woven into every corner. Alongside this, a thriving arts scene continues to flourish, with world-class performances at Saffron Hall and a vibrant community of artists, makers and cultural organisations bringing the town to life.

A myriad of community-led cultural events take place throughout the year, reflecting the town’s unique character and strong sense of local pride. Together, this blend of stunning heritage, wonderful culture and grassroots creativity makes Saffron Walden a truly special place to explore – one that deserves to be recognised and celebrated on a national stage.
