Health and Wellbeing Event

Lichfield Health and Wellbeing Show

Background

Lichfield District is located in south-east Staffordshire and abuts the West Midlands conurbation. The District has two main settlements, the cathedral City of Lichfield and the town of Burntwood, as well as many villages set within a varied and attractive rural area. The City of Lichfield is an important historic centre, with a major conservation area based around the Cathedral, a medieval street pattern and historic city centre buildings. The Cathedral spires (the 'ladies of the vale'), are visible from many points in the wider rural landscape. Lichfield District is an attractive location for people to live. It has been a significant destination for migrants from the West Midlands conurbation and other nearby towns. Lichfield is well-placed for the new trend of its experience-led offer to attract visitors to the city. The city has a number of leisure and cultural venues and an extensive festival, concerts and events offer to cater for its tourism economy. Beacon Park is set in more than 70 acres of beautiful gardens and open space within easy reach of the city centre. Visitors use the park for a leisurely walk and a range of activities including crazy golf, the children's play area, tennis, basketball, bowls, play disk, foot golf and more. Beacon Park is also steeped in history and heritage, and information boards around the site provide a glimpse into the area's rich historical past.

Event Concept

We wish to bring to the district a Weekend of events and attractions relating to Health and Wellbeing: • Exhibition of local and national products and services • Live fitness classes introducing new and upcoming crazes • Fitness competitions • Accessible sessions for disabled, elderly and children • Health food and drink stalls • Nutrition and cooking demonstrations • Massage and Physiotherapy drop in centres • Mental Health support

This can be focused in Beacon park but also be District wide using other parks and leisure centres

This is not a definitive brief and we are looking for a partner to help develop the concept and offering.

Financials

We are looking for the operator to provide the infrastructure and delivery of the concept and would look to negotiate a profit share agreement.
