Canterbury Business Improvement District (BID) is an independent, business-led, not-for-profit initiative voted for by the businesses of Canterbury in July 2014, July 2019 and again in July 2024 for another five-year term.

Nationally, there are over 352 BIDs in the UK, including three in Kent (Canterbury was the first), investing over £184 million every year, giving business an independent voice and investing in business-led initiatives.

We take pride in our city and we want Canterbury to thrive. We are dedicated to supporting the city’s business community, using the power of many to bring about positive change. Our vision is for Canterbury to realise its full potential as an award winning, vibrant and desirable destination, setting the example that other cities want to follow.
