Falmouth Updates

Falmouth Updates


Falmouth BID, your input
The strength of the projects delivered so far (including the comprehensive new visitor signage)despite such a challenging economic climate, stem from the good ideas and input of businesses 4 years ago during the consultation period for Falmouth BID. Each term of BID (there are  over 150 across the UK) lasts for up to 5 years and so this year in November, Falmouth BID will go to re-ballot. What’s key now is to seek your views and input once again so that we can look to shape another 5 years of critical investment and supportive projects for the town. Over the next week we will look to speak with you to garner those views - projects that really matter to you and the town. As before, your views will then shape a business plan.

Sea Shanty Festival 14-16 June
39 groups performing at over 20 venues this year, bigger than ever for its 10th Anniversary. Promises to be another great event
Armed Forces Day Cornwall – 22 June

Many of you should now have received the Armed Forces Day programmes for your customers and guests. If you haven’t as yet or you’d like more, then please do get in touch. If you’d had a browse through, you’ll see an enormous effort has been made to ensure the day is a memorable one which can hopefully attract many visitors. Some business such as Sisley have decided to do a promotional offer on that weekend which is great. If there are others who are planning something similar then do let us know and we can push them via social media channels.

Arvor

Arvor is a collective of 30 emerging multi-national photographic talents, fresh from finishing their Press and Editorial Photography degree at Falmouth University. They are organising many initiatives one of which is the Arvor Trail around Falmouth running until 23rd June, so keep an eye out for that. More info here - Arvor
