Enter our August Where in the World contest and win £30 ! - Monday's question

Closes on 17th of August 2026

You could win a £30 cash prize in our August Where in the World contest.

We will be asking you to name different locations in the world each day between now and the end of the month.

We provide a picture clue which might be cryptic in addition to the written clues.

At the end of each day's contest we will pick the winner from all correct answers received and so the winner is not necessarily the first entrant with the answer. The overall winner of the £30 cash prize at the end of the competition will be the person who has the most individual wins and in the event of a tie a draw will be held to determine the winner of the £30 cash prize.

We will give you regular updates of the daily contest winners so you can see who is leading the competition.



Only one entry per day is allowed, otherwise your entry will not count.

Question:
This town, which has a connection with the picture, was the birthplace of a Poet Laureate who died when he was in his eighties. The town is also the birthplace of an actor who appeared in a popular 2023 fantasy film as well as in Doctor Who with Cybermen ten years earlier. The town has a theatre that achieved a 'first' in 2000 and where next month audiences can enjoy a play that features a significant event that took place in the first century AD. What is the name of the town ?
