Become a Sponsor with Fermanagh and Omagh District Council

Fermanagh and Omagh District Council is inviting local businesses and organisations to become sponsors or media partners for its Christmas Lights Switch-On events in Enniskillen and Omagh this year.  This is part of a pilot Sponsorship programme as the Council explores potential sponsorship opportunities for future corporate events and activities. 

The Switch-On events are popular festive celebrations which provide an opportunity for businesses and organisations to connect with locals and visitors during the festive period. 

In addition to the two events, the Council is also offering exclusive advertising opportunities on its arts venue websites and in seasonal programmes for the Christmas period. 

Speaking about the Sponsorship opportunities, Chair of Fermanagh and Omagh District Council, Councillor Thomas O’Reilly, said: 

“The Council’s pilot sponsorship and advertising opportunities are designed to help local businesses and organisations to enhance their brand visibility and connect with new customers in an innovative way. 

The Council’s Christmas programme attracts locals and visitors alike to the various events, therefore, they provide the potential for businesses and organisations to obtain additional promotion by aligning their brand with the festivities. 

The Council is committed to ensuring that our economy is thriving, expanding and outward looking and this sponsorship arrangement contributes to the achievement of this.” 

Through sponsorship, businesses and organisations will have clear brand placement at events with their logo prominently featured at the event, in promotional materials and through event posts on the Council’s social media channels to support increased business exposure.

All potential Sponsors will be required to complete a short online application form which is available in the Council’s website, www.fermanaghomagh.com by searching for ‘Become a Sponsor’.  All applications will be assessed in line with the Council’s Inward Sponsorship Policy and Procedures. 

The closing date for applications for the Christmas Lights Switch-On events Sponsorship pilot is Wednesday 8 November 2023.
