The Business Improvement Districts in Bexleyheath & Sidcup are business led and business funded bodies formed to help fund additional projects, services and events.

Sidcup Partners have helped to bring many exciting events to the area, including annual favourites such as the Fringe event in September and new events such as its 2022 Book Trail.

For the book trail, Sidcup Partners bought 500 books and hid them along the high street and Station Road. Not only was it fun for residents to find and keep a free book, but it also helped to increase footfall to local businesses.

Bexleyheath BID is an independent, not-for-profit company set up by local businesses to positively improve their local trading environment. The Bexleyheath BID Board also work to bring exciting events and activities to the area.

Last year Bexleyheath saw the introduction of Bexleyheath Night Markets from June through October. Up to 40 unique traders were present at each market and provided a range of street food, artisan products, craft beers, cocktails, activities for children, a talent show and more.

Both Sidcup Partners and Bexleyheath BID are bringing even more exciting events and activities to their respective town centres in 2023. Find out what’s on, on pages 26 and 27.
