Description

A strong, sustainable Cultural Events Programme will address cultural deprivation and
bring enhanced economic activity and jobs to Boscombe, supporting the local retail and
hospitality sectors, driving, for example, a more developed night-time economy.
The Events project will help deliver some of the objectives of the Towns Fund. One
objective of the Towns Fund included in Paragraph 1.23 of the Towns Fund Prospectus
(2019) states: 'Perception of place is an important 'pull' factor in business location
decisions and can affect a place's capacity to attract and retain workers. Many towns
already have a strong heritage and sense of place, and benefit from their cultural and civic
assets'.
The contractor(s) will be required to work with at least 10 local artists to either deliver or
advise on the programme and this is to be captured under the output 'Number of local
artists engaged in Cultural Events Programme activities each year'.
