Fermanagh and Omagh District Council is inviting online applications for sponsorship from event and festival organisers that deliver events within the district. The call-out for applications is for events and festivals taking place between now and the end of March, 2024, which is dependent on available budgets.

Sponsorship for the Coronation of King Charles III events is eligible under this programme. Such events must take place between May 5-9 to be considered.

The Chair of the Council, Councillor Barry McElduff, said: “Events and festivals bring communities together and they are a great boost to the local economy and tourism by attracting visitors to the district.

“I would encourage anyone from the Council area who is organising an event or festival from April, 2023 to March, 2024 to submit an application.”

Applications for Coronation Events close at 5pm on Friday, March 31, with applications for events and festivals closing at 5pm on Wednesday, April 19.
