For events between June and September 2024, organisers should apply by Monday, January 15 at the latest if they hope to receive a grant for their event.
The Animating Bridgwater scheme hopes to support organisations in their delivery of new events and activities that will draw people to the Town Centre as well as animate the new and old spaces across Bridgwater in innovative way.
