Proposal How will the events fund work?
Call for people to submit events applications - 15 April 2013 We will only fund new events. Events must take place in in 2013 or 2014. Applicants must demonstrate how the event will encourage
people into shops and businesses in Lichfield City centre. Applications that include an element of match funding from
alternative solutions will be welcomed. Maximum funding to any one event - £6,000 Application deadline -
5pm on 17 May 2013

Proposal Bringing Covent Garden entertainment into the city
Call for entertainers to bid to deliver entertainment on agreed days throughout the year. We have set aside £5,000 to invest. Competitive quotes indicate paid for entertainers can be sourced from between £250 -
£300 per day. We know local partner arts groups would also like to bid to take part, and may be willing
to charge less in order to increase the number of days. Between 11 May & 29 September there are 42 Saturdays and Sundays. At the day rate quoted, we could afford 16 – 17 days.
Need feedback from traders on what days they would like to invest the funding – weekdays, weekends, mixture of both?
Do you want entertainment during the summer months when footfall is already high, or during autumn months when footfall is lower?
Need feedback from local partner artsgroups about whether they would take part?

A town centre manager? Top idea voted for by traders With only £27,000 left in the kitty, and lots of other
projects left to deliver, this is not an easy one! One option is to use some of the funding to see if a
