Big Event makes prize shortlist
Margate’s Big Event has been shortlisted for two awards in a national competition for event organisers.
The event, which is Kent’s leading land and air festival, takes place over the Father’s Day weekend.
It has been shortlisted in two categories of the awards, organised by the National Outdoor Events Association.
Margate’s Big Event is competing for top honours for the Best Outdoor Public Event of the Year Tribute Award and the Best Organised Outdoor Public Event of the Year.
The results are due to be announced at an awards ceremony in Oxford during February. Ed Stewart, former Radio 1 and Radio 2 presenter will present the awards.
Leader of Thanet council, Cllr Sandy Ezekiel, said: “It’s great to see Margate’s Big Event being recognised at a national event. We know it’s a superb event and last year’s 65,000 visitors gave us great reviews but to have it’s success endorsed by the Outside Events Industry is terrific.
“Congratulations to our team behind the event for being shortlisted. They put a huge amount of work into producing this event and I hope that will be acknowledged at the awards ceremony with a win.”
Margate’s Big Event is due to take place this year at Palm Bay on Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 June. Entry will be free and features will include flying displays and a full festival programme.
