This project was funded on 23 Oct 2024!

After 7 years of the same illuminations we need to replace the illuminations in Halesowen Town Centre. The lights help to put Halesowen on the map and stand out from other town centres. Increasing footfall to town centre, supporting local businesses by boosting the local economy. Previous years have seen our Christmas event draw over 35k people to the town making us the largest public event in the borough. The cost of the lights, installation, maintenance, running costs and the event are a large burden on the BID and due to increased costs we need funding for this to happen in 2024

What we'll deliver:

  • New lights for the town centre, installed and maintained
  • An aesthetic town centre for the festive season
  • a memorable event for the community and local businesses

Why it's a great idea:

The project will allow us to continue to deliver a memorable christmas to residents and businesses in Halesowen. Our event draws people to the town, not only from Halesowen but the wider borough.

Steps to get it done:

  • To purchase new illuminations, install and run. Host a memorable event
