Our CEO recently spoke at a national conference about the wider value of markets and events to the local community and economy of Cirencester. Whilst we have a diverse offer of markets and themed events, we want to extend that offer in the future. One idea from Market Harborough is an all-age Comic Con event. Everything to do with film and TV including characters, actors, cosplay, merch, toys, and collectables. Or maybe a themed weekend, such as a throwback to the 1980’s!

We are particularly interested in hearing from students at Cirencester College and the RAU, as well as young people in employment about the type of markets and events they would like to see in Cirencester.
