18/11/2021 - Event Policy and Suitability of Events ref: 5078    Recommendations Approved

The report details a review of the current Thanet District Council events policy, processes and proposes the revised Event Policy and introduction of the Suitability of Events document along with an update in fees and charges.

 

Events help to contribute to the local economy in Thanet. There were over 230 events organised in Thanet over the last few years (this is a reduced number due to the COVID 19 pandemic). These events help to promote the culture, build community spirit, and contribute to increasing visitors to the area.

 

These events included:

 

  • Red Bull Quicksands;
  • Great Bucket and Spade Run;
  • Broadstairs food Festival;
  • Dickens Festival;
  • Kite Surfing Championships;
  • Margate Festival;

 

The updated policy will enable organisers to understand the events process, giving them guidance and support when organising events in Thanet. The policy outlines the importance of safety, identifying that events need to be covid-19 compliant, and that organisers need to be thinking about reducing carbon emissions in line with the climate emergency called by TDC in 2019.

 

TDC will also include workshops for event organisers and other training and learning opportunities.

 

The new fees and charges establish a clear charging framework to ensure that the costs of hiring council land is transparent from the beginning of the process.
