Organising Your Get Together
Planning a street party is a super fun experience, but there are a few rules and regulations to be aware of!
Government street party rules include:
• Street parties are for residents and neighbours only
• Publicity is only for residents
• Your street party should take place in a quiet residential road, block of flats or local green space
• It should be self-organised
• No formal risk assessment is needed, just consider the safety needs of those attending
• Often, licences are not necessary unless the sale of alcohol is involved. If you plan to sell alcohol you will need to check whether you need a Temporary Events Notice
• You don't normally need insurance
• The Licensing Act 2003 does not require a music licence for a street party
