⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTICE – PLAY PARK ON THE PROM ⚠️

Please be advised that the play park on the Prom is NOT yet open for public use.

While we understand the excitement surrounding the new facility, the park remains a construction site and has not been officially handed over or deemed safe for use. For the safety and wellbeing of all children, we respectfully ask that nobody enters or uses the play equipment until the official opening takes place.

New fencing will be erected around the site and this is expected to be completed next week.

We appreciate everyone's patience and cooperation. The wait is nearly over, and we look forward to welcoming families to the park once it is officially open and safe for everyone to enjoy.

Thank you for your understanding.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped give such a warm welcome to the visitors from the Seabourn cruise ship on Friday 8th May.

To our taxi drivers, bus drivers, local businesses, volunteers, and the wider island community — your friendliness, hospitality, and support helped create a wonderful experience for all our guests.

We are proud to showcase the very best of our island and community spirit, and your efforts made the day truly special. Thank you all for playing your part and making our visitors feel so welcome.
Kind regards
The BID Board

TWO NEW ADVERTISING OPPORTUNITIES

ADVERTISE WITH BUTE ISLAND RADIO

The Isle of Bute BID are excited to announce a collaboration with Bute Island Radio.

The BID will sponsor our wonderful local radio station for the next year, in order to provide six levy payers per month with an opportunity to advertise with them, at no extra cost to themselves. Levy payers who already advertise with Bute Island Radio will also be included.

Places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis, so please apply as soon as possible to: [email protected].

I’ll then pass your details on to the lovely Gloria Fear, Chair of Bute Island Radio, who will arrange to create the advertisement for your business and get you on the airwaves.

ADVERTISE ON THE DIGITAL NOTICE

The digital notice board in Guildford Square has been operational since October.

Its main purpose is to provide relevant information to visitors to the island, regarding tourist attractions, entertainment, and events. This will become even more important to the island when the Discovery Centre closes later in the year.

We have plans to create more reels showcasing different relevant sectors, as we have done for the pub sector. This will be included with the levy payment.

We are now also opening up the space for paid adverts so that individual businesses and businesses who are exempt from the levy can promote themselves. Rates are as follows:

Static Advert: £50 + VAT per month

Video Clip (up to 30 seconds) £75 + VAT per month

Spaces are limited, so this opportunity will also be available on a first come, first served basis and a maximum of 2 months can be booked at a time. Apply to [email protected]
