About Crewe Town Council
Crewe Town Council was formed in 2013 as the result of a referendum, with a role to provide a strong voice for Crewe. The parish of Crewe is broken into six wards made up of a diverse community. The Council is made up of twenty elected members (Town Councillors) and a small team of officers work to deliver local services and activities including events.
About Events at Crewe Town Council
Crewe is a home to an ever growing hive of activity when it comes to events and culture and Crewe Town Council is proud to be a part of this.
Crewe Town Council has a rich history of hosting outstanding events including a regular monthly feature market, school holiday programmes, a soap box derby event, music events, Crewe Day Festival, Remembrance Sunday Service and Parade, an annual Christmas Lights Switch On and so much more!
Events make a huge contribution to our local community and economy. They provide recreational opportunities for residents and contribute to strong, resilient communities by providing the chance for people to have an active role in the community through volunteering or participation in event activities. At their biggest, events give Crewe a raised profile, boosting inward investment and visits to the town.
The town enjoys a thriving and engaged community which is keen to express its individuality as well as welcome ideas for contemporary events from around the country. Crewe Town Council continually builds on these elements to develop a culture of active delivery of events in partnership with the community, agencies and businesses that contribute to achieving our ambition to make Crewe the place to Live, Work & Enjoy.
Crewe is in a time of change and opportunity, with redevelopment of the town centre underway and new exciting cultural projects and initiatives emerging. Local residents and organisations alike are invigorated and passionate about the role of events in the town, both now and for its future.
