Planning Your Event
Causeway Coast & Glens Borough Council deliver and support a wide range of events across the borough throughout the year. Events provide an opportunity for residents and visitors alike to come together to showcase the local area.
Although events vary enormously in type and form, the planning process, management issues and considerations are often surprisingly similar. With today’s audiences expecting high quality entertainment and services, creating a memorable event is no easy task. We have put together a guide, along with some helpful documents, as a source of reference for those planning and organising community festivals and other events.
