Do you already have a flag?
The flag must fit our flagpole. This means that it can be no larger than 180cm x 90cm.

If you need help sourcing a flag then we recommend our supplier www.flyingcolours.org .

The product that is suitable for the flagpole at the Town Hall is: 1 off sewn national flag, 2 yard (180cm x 90cm), Rope, Toggle and Spine

The flag, including ropes and toggles, should be made available to Facilities staff at the Town Hall one week before the event so that it can be checked and prepared for raising.

As the flag is being donated, the Council will keep the flag after the event and use it for future flag raising events.
