Towns Alive is a £2 million, five-year programme to help sustain and revitalise market towns.

The programme was launched at the AMT Convention in Skipton in 2008 by Countryfile presenter John Craven (pictured centre, with AMT Chairman Catherine Hammant and Chief Executive Chris Wade, together with Market Town Awards winners from English regions).
