Event Notification and Management

Are you considering holding an event of over 500 people within the district?    

You will need to consider if you need to complete an Event Notification Form for events where there are at least 500 persons attending.  Please note a minimum of 12 weeks’ notice required.   

Once submitted your Event Notification Form will be circulated to relevant Safety Advisory Group members (i.e. Highways, Police etc.) who may contact you for further information. You will need to consider what licences or permissions you will need for example any alcohol or entertainment. Further information can be received by contacting our licensing team at Licensing@NWLeicestershire.gov.uk We may also contact you in regards to Environmental Health matters.

We will make all relevant services aware of your event.  The event organiser is responsible for putting on a safe and compliant event and should ensure all necessary permissions and licenses are in place before it goes ahead.

If your event impacts on the highway you should read and follow the advice provided by the highways team at Leicestershire County Council www.leicestershire.gov.uk/plan-an-event
