The Commonwealth Games return to Glasgow this summer. King Charles III has expressed strong support for the 2026 Games, emphasizing unity, friendship, and the "shared endeavours" of the Commonwealth nations during "uncertain times".
The Commonwealth is a voluntary association of 56 independent and equal countries. It is home to 2.7 billion people, and includes both advanced economies and developing countries. 33 members are small states, including many island nations. Any country can join the modern Commonwealth. The last two countries to join the Commonwealth were Gabon and Togo in 2022.
To mark this summer of Commonwealth sport, families can enjoy Commonwealth themed activities in and around The Castle's Learning Centre as well as take part in an interactive trail.
