Events play an important role in connecting and inspiring our communities and delivering economic benefits to the city.
Our goal
To create an inclusive and vibrant event portfolio which delivers cultural and social benefits to our residents and boosts our local economy.
We’re aiming to provide a balanced calendar of events, so that residents can enjoy a range of performing arts, sporting, cultural and community events all year-round.
