Current opportunities:

BID Leicester is looking for events and projects to support for 2027.

In this application round we are interested in funding projects and activities taking place in 2027. In particular, we would like to identify events that can take place during October half term and the Christmas period.

We may also be interested in activity to boost footfall at quieter times during the year when there are relatively few other events taking place.

Please note that BID Leicester is already committed to supporting Light Up Leicester (March), Bring the Paint (May) and is considering a funding allocation to Brew Beat (September). A commitment has also been made to supporting a Rave exhibition in 2028 (subject to successful BID ballot). This means that we will be able to support relatively few projects / events.

Our 2023–2028 business plan can be viewed here: https://bidleicester.co.uk/bid-leicester-2023-28-business-plan/
Please read the guidance notes at the front of the application form before applying, as these are specific to this sponsorship round.
