So many of you are running exciting events every month that we want to support. This is why we’re continuing our new monthly round-up across Instagram and Facebook.

Our goal is to share as many events as possible every month in Acton - giving you more footfall and creating a buzz on the busy Acton streets. But to do this, we need your help…

Email Natasha with:

• The event your business is hosting in MAY 2024
• Information about it (time / date / customer stipulations)
• Any accompanying photos or videos

It could be anything. A discount, a workshop, a birthday, a promotion! It doesn’t matter what; we want to push it.

If you don’t supply us with the above information, our team may struggle to give your event the push it deserves. In that case, we may have to use images from your Instagram page - and you’ll need to let us know if you’d like changes to be made after posting.

Not sure what to send? Tell us if you are doing anything for these special dates or if you would like to collaborate on a post:

Golf Day: 8th May

Vegetarian Week: 20-26th May

World Day for Cultural Diversity: 21st May

Bank holidays: 6th and 27th May

The deadline to be included this month is 25th May

We want Acton to thrive - but we can’t do that without your help!

Your Acton BID, in partnership with the Met Police, organises ShopWatch security meetings for the local pubs and businesses in Acton. This partnership increases communication within the pubs and businesses to pre-empt crime and anti-social behaviour in their premises.

The next ShopWatch meeting is Wednesday, April 24th, 2024, at 11:00. (it is held every last Wednesday of the month) at the ActOne Cinema, High Street, W3 6NA.

All businesses are welcome to attend the meetings. If you have any questions or would like more information about the security meetings, please get in touch with Natasha.

And the winner of the Acton Bunny Trail is Ayra Malik!

A massive congratulations - and thank you to everyone who took part and supported this year’s event!

We’re happy that it was our most successful event to date - even Acton’s own Vilamoura Café said that “it really brought the fun, friendly family feel back to Acton.”

Businesses that took part: 25

Maps downloaded: 5 vs Maps picked up: 400

Maps collected: 120 vs Completed Maps: 81

Mini eggs collected: 120

Total players: 120

We have plans to make next year even better than ever… Make sure you join in, and like City Deal Estates, you can also be “looking forward to next year!”
