The contract period will commence on 8th November 2021 and extend until 31st August 2024, with a total budget ranging from £19,000 to £57,000. This opportunity is well-suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations that can reliably deliver community-focused events. Prospective bidders should be adept at collaborating with local venues and community groups, showcasing a diverse range of entertainment, and managing large-scale public festivals. Businesses involved in event management, production services, and community engagement are especially encouraged to apply, as the festival aims to celebrate and enhance the communal identity of Penzance. ## Notice Applications are sought for Golowan 2022 and the following 2 years, from groups that are CIOs or CIC's partnered with a charitable organisation so as to move toward the community aspiration that Golowan is overseen by a charitable community organisation.
