News on Your Driffield. Your Future.

A survey has been released to evaluate the impact of the Driffield Michaelmas Feastival held on Friday 29th September to Sunday 1st October, at Cross Hill car park, along Mill Street and onto the Market Place Umbrella Plaza.

This event was organised by Zoom Events, part of Market Square Group Limited, and supported by the East Riding of Yorkshire Council (ERYC) Local Growth team to assess the space as a future opportunity for Driffield town centre.

The event saw 24 vendors taking part in the event including food and craft stalls and street food. Early data shows that footfall over the event period was 38% higher on Market Place when compared with the previous 4-week average for Friday – Sunday.

Funding for the use of the event space, marquee, media promotion and children’s entertainment was provided through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. This fund is a central pillar of the UK Government’s Levelling Up agenda with one of its objectives being to instil a sense of community, local pride and belonging.

The ERYC Local Growth team would like your feedback to evaluate the success of the event and the potential of this space being used for future events to drive visitor numbers to Driffield town centre and support the local economy.

This survey can be accessed via the Driffield Commonplace website and will be open until midday on Monday 23rd October.
