Event Strategy

The Strategy cites the health and well being benefits, not to mention the wider social value, of events through work experience, volunteering and training opportunities for all our residents. This Strategy is supported by our new Events Policy and Green Events Guide, which aim to ensure that transparency, clearer and more sustainable processes will now be at the forefront of our cultural programming.

This was developed following the 2019 consultation on the 2016-2020 Events Strategy, the Lambeth Events Strategy Report details this consultation.
