I guess the best you can hope for is a variety over the course of a year.
Also, and I ask this because I genuinely don't know the answer - who should a Christmas light switch on be aimed at?
The town was busy with young people but were they buying? Perhaps not! However, it got a lot of publicity in the local papers. It also was deemed a success so is more likely to be replicated and the council to continue putting money in. If it was geared more towards people who had spending power then would it have got enough people in and would it have been deemed a success?
I ask all this because I don't know what the answer is. It's one thing having an opinion about what you would like to see but you also have to consider the target market when you've decided what the target market is.

I think there might be a clue in the name, as to what theme might be explored, concerning any such event, and which should hopefully equally appeal to everyone.
'Christmas' light stwich-on.
I asked earlier, because I didn't know you were anything to do with last year's Victorian market event, what exactly is your role now?
Does this fall under the umberella of being manager of the Civic Centre, or do you now have another official position?
