Community events and street parties

Holding an event can be great fun for you and your community however there are a number of elements to be considered to make your event safe and successful.

It is important to understand your legal responsibilities as an event organiser and you should consider licensing, fire safety arrangements, first aid provision, highway rules and public safety, welfare and protection legislation early in the event planning process.

The Lincolnshire Event Safety Partnership have lots of useful information available on their website to help with your event planning. Here you will find guidance on risk assessments, best practice, templates for event management plans and an event organiser guide.

More information about licensing can be found on our licensing page.

For information about events that may affect the highway and to register an event on the highway, apply for road closures or parking restrictions please visit Lincolnshire County Council’s event registry page.

For more information and to notify Lincolnshire Police about an event please visit their event notification website.
