High Street & Destination Events

Placemaking Through Performance

Our event concepts for BIDs go beyond entertainment—they create reasons to visit, stay longer, and return again. It’s all about increasing dwell time, footfall, and community connection.

Brentwood BID

Sarah Walmsley, Brentwood Connected Business Improvement District Manager 

“As a new BID, Brentwood Connected wanted to make a splash for Halloween in Shenfield as one of our popular events. We tasked CEP to bring some extra enlivenment to a Halloween Trail, which they did with style. CEP had amazing props and professional actors each telling a story. It was a fantastic event bringing thousands to one of our high streets. Businesses were very pleased to see the place buzzing with increased spend and foot traffic in the evening.”
