BID seeks Purple Flag accreditation

With the support of partners, we have applied for Purple Flag status in Southampton. Purple Flag is an international accreditation programme that aims to reward those who achieve excellence in the evening and night-time economy in their destinations. A town or city that is awarded a Purple Flag accreditation can benefit from a raised profile, lower anti-social behaviour, and improved public image.

Alongside the written submission, we welcomed the assessors into the city on 18 November for a walk around the city centre to highlight Southampton’s strong night-time offering. We are awaiting a decision on our application, watch this space!
