A new grant scheme which supports local events to attract more attendees has been launched by East Suffolk Council.
The Events Growth Grant Scheme is offering projects funding of up to £25,000, to support marketing activity, infrastructure improvements, accessibility enhancements, staffing, and additional event programming. Higher amounts may be considered for exceptional projects that demonstrate a strong economic impact.
Funded through the Sizewell C Tourism Fund, this grant scheme aims to encourage the development of events which not only benefit local communities but also attract visitors from outside the district, particularly during the off-peak tourism season.
