Funding may be available for anyone wanting to organise an event as part of the Platinum Jubilee Celebrations in Exeter.

People are being asked to come forward and apply if they fancy running a workshop, hosting an activity, performing or exhibiting at Exeter’s street party in celebration of the Queen’s Jubilee on Thursday 2 June.

InExeter said £2,000 community funding is available for people wanting to organise an event. Applications for funding need to be made before the deadline of Wednesday 11 May, by emailing organisation details and planned activity to info@inexeter.com

Space on Exeter High Street or Cathedral Green will be allocated by the Event Manager. Activities must be run between 11am and 3pm and must take place whatever the weather.

Applicants must be able to provide completed risk assessments and insurance before the award of a grant. Awards will be granted by Friday 13 May.

Benches and tables will be set up in the High Street for people to enjoy the festivities on June 2. There will be live music and people can bring their own picnic or click and collect from nearby restaurants.

As part of the celebrations there will also be a Military and Community village on Cathedral Green.

So don’t delay – apply today, and be part of the big summer celebration in Exeter. More details of the jubilee celebrations are available at visitexeter.com
