If the money is going to be spent on the event regardless then I guess it’s a matter of how we make it work.
I think it could work but it would need to be something that people of all ages can enjoy and it’s also a chance to promote the town / community somehow. There’s nothing in Wrexham that I can think of that really says ‘this is why people come here’ and I don’t think a temporary beach alone will do that.
Somebody mentioned karaoke competition but maybe there could be some sort of ‘Wrexham’s Got Talent’ show with local radio stations involved to help present and promote it. Prizes could be donated by local businesses etc. By getting people involved in this way there would be less cost for the entertainment. There’s also an opportunity to make money through merchandise (providing there are no copyright issues etc)
Although my work is based in Chester I know plenty of people who would volunteer to help out with this and I’m sure the company would make some sort of contribution.
Would be good to see what ideas people come up with and I’d be happy to get some support.
