Tower Hamlets Council has an established, high-quality programme of Council organised, commercial, community and corporate events. This vibrant arts programme brings together young and old from across the borough and the UK and provides cultural experiences for all.
Historically, the Council has organised a number of regular events each year. However, the Council is unable to guarantee a minimum number of events or level of work as all events are subject to confirmation depending on budgets and Council priorities.

In addition, the supplier may be required to support the corporate, commercial and private events programme through on-site management services.
