Lizard Loves the Little Big Gig

This campaign has ended.

Reinstate the license for Henry’s Campsite to hold live music events. Allow them to continue their service to our rural community in organising live music and events including the Little Big Gig.

Why is this important?

The Little Big Gig - among the other events staged by Henry’s Campsite - boosts tourism for the village. Far from being detrimental, they are a draw card for other local businesses. The Little Big Gig itself is held in late September, out of high season and provides a welcome influx of visitors before a long winter. This is an extremely rural community and events such as these are key in keeping us close knit. The village socialises together, bonds are formed and the village thrives.

The council have threatened to close down the festival despite considerable effort to accommodate noise complaints. Next week they will make a decision. Will you sign this petition to let them know you want the festival to continue?

How it will be delivered
