Key Projects
Projects funded through sponsorship and local business support
As a small, not-for-profit company we don’t have huge marketing budgets so we prefer to demonstrate the assets of the area through actions, and we have an ambitious programme of projects, all funded through sponsorship and business support -we would be pleased to tell you more about, including:
- INSPIRE Business Awards – we organise and manage the biggest business awards in the south
- In 2011 we organised and ran (excuse the pun!) the first Basingstoke Half Marathon – which is attracted interest from all over the UK – it has become a much loved race in the region and now includes a 10k too, and will celebrating its 11th year in 2022.
- We manage the annual ‘Place to be Proud of Awards’ – to celebrate the community’s contribution to the quality of life in this area.
-
In 2019 we took over the popular Hampshire OctoberFest - a real ale festival featuring hundreds of locally brewed ales, as well as wines, gins and other Hampshire produce, all accompanied by live music and entertainment.
- In 2021 Destination Basingstoke we staged the Hampshire Hogs art sculpture trail, the perfect activity for a summer staycation.
