Event site license application toolkit

Why have we produced this toolkit?

This Events Application Toolkit has been introduced to try and support you through the application process and should provide all the information needed to make a good application.

Event organisers are advised to study the guidance and follow the recommendations. Our advice and this guidance is in addition to any legal requirements, government guidance and other advice, to which you should also refer.

If you have any questions about your application after reading through this toolkit, please contact the Event Site Licensing Team.
