CHESHIRE West and Chester Council has launched a new toolkit for people who are organising events for their communities.
Organising an event can be a daunting task, especially for those with little knowledge or experience of the processes and permissions required.
A new 'Guidance for event planning' toolkit takes organisers through the event planning process, step by step, offering hints and tips along the way, as well as clarifying what important permissions may be required, such as road closures and licenses.
Councillor Stuart Parker, executive member for Culture and Economy said: “A key aim for the council is to realise the opportunities events can bring, in terms of supporting communities to develop, and promoting Cheshire West and Chester as a visitor destination."
Local event organiser, Steve Frood has found the guidance particularly useful for planning the 2015 Manley Spring Fair and inaugural Delamere Spartans Ten Thousand Run on Monday, May 4.
He said: “The Delamere Spartan race is in its first year and will hopefully add another dimension to the annual Manley Spring Fair on the Parish Field which has always been a popular event with the local community.”
