Why Salisbury
Salisbury always looks to the future.
Our great city had the will and imagination to relocate itself over 800 years ago and has reinforced its enduring spirit by emerging from the extremely challenging circumstances of the past few years with resilience, positivity and ambition. We draw inspiration from our rich heritage.
When cathedral stones were first laid in the heart of English countryside back in 1220, Salisbury started to become a magnet for generations of pilgrims seeking inspiration, traders, travellers, farmers and fishermen bringing produce to market and artists and artisans laying out their wares. Today, we are re-imagining Salisbury as a modern medieval city embracing the challenges of the 21st Century. We want Salisbury to be a place of life and energy, a vibrant and welcoming place, a connected place.
