Celebrities turning on Christmas lights

Anonymous User made this Freedom of Information request to Brighton and Hove City Council This request has been closed to new correspondence. Contact us if you think it should be reopened.

Brighton and Hove City Council did not have the information requested.

I would like to know whether your council has paid for the services of any celebrity or local personality to either turn on or appear at the turning on of the Christmas lights in your town over the last 10 years. If possible, could the information be broken down as follows:

· The NAME of the celebrity/celebrities.

· The COST of hiring their services.

· The YEAR in which they appeared.

In order to keep this request as easy for you as possible, I am not looking for total costs of the event or any other Christmas decorations. However, if there was an event featuring a celebrity appearance put on by another organisation than the council, I would be very grateful if you could provide me with the name of that organisation so I can contact them directly.

Warning: This message has not yet been sent for an unknown reason.
