Street parties

Find out what you need to do to host an event on one of our high streets or in your neighbourhood.

Street parties

If you want to plan a street party for your neighbourhood, you'll need to submit an application.

Street parties are simple, private events and do not generally include activities that require licenses, such as selling alcohol or providing entertainment. They are normally:

  • for residents and neighbours only
  • publicised only to residents
  • self organised

You do not need insurance or a formal risk assessment. You will need to provide a plan of the road or roads affected by the event.
