Callendar House Christmas Decoration Brief.
1. BACKGROUND
Callendar House is located in Callendar Park, Falkirk. Both are owned by Falkirk Council and operated by Falkirk Community Trust, a charity established in 2011 to run the culture and leisure services previously provided directly by the Council. The House is an A-listed historic building and functions as a 4-star heritage attraction, museum and archive. It also has a teashop which is presently being redeveloped with a stronger identity and improved offer.
2. CHRISTMAS AT CALLENDAR HOUSE
Falkirk Community Trust is providing festive period activity in 2016 at several of its venues – traditional panto at Falkirk Town Hall, Christmas cinema programme at the Hippodrome in Bo’ness, and the Fire and Light for New Year at the Helix. Because of its character and setting, Callendar House is the principle focus for the Trust’s developing Christmas activity.
Christmas has been marked at Callendar House in previous years by low-key events and activity which fits with existing activity and facilities in the House – a large Christmas tree in the main entrance hall, seasonally-orientated workshop programmes for families and schools, Christmas presentations in the historic kitchen, Christmas menus in our tearoom and seasonal stock in our shop. These have gradually built Callendar House’s reputation as a Christmas venue, and so in 2016, we are keen to take that reputation further so that the House becomes an essential part of people’s Christmas experience.
3. CHRISTMAS IN 2016

Stirling Council has developed a new visual identity for the area which is designed to give a strong and unique destination marketing brand with which we can achieve a uniformity of messaging, across all key stakeholder groups, that is currently lacking. We are at the beginning of a hugely exciting period in Stirling’s history with major investment being delivered which will significantly transform the city and deliver major economic and social change.

Following stakeholder engagement, we then require a highly creative and innovative brand activation strategy to be developed for each of our four defined groups which will deliver against our key objectives.
