Yesterday, the Welsh Government published their final 2026-27 Budget, and increased culture investment for the second year on the trot 🐎
Purple text on green background: Wales increases overall spending on the arts and culture for a second successive year. This is a move in the right direction after cuts in 2024 left the nation among the lowest in Europe for culture spend. Chart showing the overall culture budget decreasing from 2023-24 to 2024-25, then increasing each year until £186.5m in 2026-27.
