The events can include arts, cultural, sports or volunteering activities or exhibitions but must be designed to encourage participation and generate footfall in the town centre.

- Take place in Hyde Town centre
- Encourage more footfall to the town

The funds can be used to cover the costs of speakers, arts/crafts, running workshops, developing a play or a film, or any other reasonable costs for holding an activity or event. Expenses for volunteer time, food and refreshments will not be accepted.
