#Ashby BID Easter Event: Family Fun with a Town Trail and Colouring Competition!

The Ashby BID Company are thrilled to announce that they have been awarded the contract to sprinkle festive magic for the Ashby de la Zouch Christmas event 2024. We had tremendous feedback from last year, not only from people who attended the event but also from those that put on the very best festive performances, local businesses and Market traders that attended. Ashby BID is a non profit company, this will mean that any funds raised will stay within the Ashby economy and either be put back into the event or other local initiatives to keep Ashby a wonderful town. The Ashby BID is funded by rate paying businesses within the BID area, our aim is to work together with local businesses, schools and residents of Ashby to promote and enhance the economic and vibrancy of our town to ensure it remains a safe & welcoming place to live, work & visit. Stuart Benson, BID Manager said “After successfully running the event in 2023 we are extremely pleased to announce that Ashby de la Zouch Town Council have awarded Ashby BID the contract to run the event for the next three years. This is an amazing opportunity, we are very grateful to receive the backing and will continue to develop & enhance the event.
