Awareness events calendar

Throughout the year we will acknowledge our support for a number of local, national and international causes and events and these are listed below.

However, this list is not conclusive and we will occasionally support additional requests to help raise awareness for local charities and good causes which matter to local people and local charities.

Event dates may vary from year to year.

Viaduct illuminations

Requests for Viaduct illuminations are in high demand and we reserve the right to prioritise these at busy times. Please note that these illuminations are only possible between October and March, when the lights are more visible on darker nights.
