It is essential that Canterbury remains a vibrant and creative destination for visitors and locals. Canterbury boasts a rich mix of events throughout the year, delivering over 125,000 visitors to the city centre annually.
Canterbury BID works closely with local event companies to produce an annual events calendar. This is used to give a birds eye view of all the events schedules for the year ahead, and can help businesses help to plan marketing and event activities:
These Events and Campaign Calendars are working documents, updated as new events are confirmed. These are also listed on the BID’s events calendar: Canterbury’s Monthly Events Calendar.
Each year the BID organises the Medieval Pageant and Trail and the Christmas Light Parade. It also supports events that will benefit the city centre. We invest in existing events and festivals and support the development of new ones that can show that they will drive footfall, new audiences and profitability to the city.
