Thousands of borough residents and visitors enjoy a wide range of public events on offer in the area every year.

We encourage and welcome the hosting of events across the borough and we want to help you run a safe and successful event.  The event organiser is responsible for all aspects of the event (including the impact of coronavirus) and needs to consider the wellbeing of attendees and also the impact and potential inconvenience the event may cause for pedestrians and traffic not attending the event.

Below you will find a comprehensive event application form; a step-by-step guide to all aspects of hosting an event of any size.
