Revive & Thrive Regional Meeting

On Thursday 2nd November 2017 from 3.30pm – 7.30pm Revive & Thrive is bringing a regional meeting event to Whitchurch Civic Centre. This interactive Revive & Thrive event is for both town/city centre professionals and practitioners and also local businesses. The event has been tailored to suit the challenges that Whitchurch Town Centre is facing in the 21st Century. Free tickets are available to local retailers and the event will run from late afternoon through to early evening to allow Whitchurch business owners to join the conversation once they have ceased trading for the day. Regional events are also free to Revive & Thrive members.

Town Centre Manager Zoë Dean said “I have worked with Revive & Thrive on a variety of occasions; they are a very passionate organisation who travel across the country providing support and assistance to town and cities. They also have fantastic links with regional experts, at least four of whom will join us in Whitchurch on 2nd November to talk about how we can help to improve and gain extra footfall in the town as well as a focus on markets within the town. It is great that we have been able to tailor the topics to ones which will really have benefit for Whitchurch.”
