Apply to hold an event in a park
Birmingham’s parks and public open spaces are a great place to hold your public event.
We have hosted:
- carnivals
- charity events
- funfairs
- races, and more
You will need permission for any organised outdoor event. You will need to apply at least 12 weeks in advance, especially when it involves:
- large groups of people
- equipment or structures
- music
We recommend that you do not advertise your event until you have written confirmation from us that your event can go ahead.
Normally your event must be open to the general public, but you can charge people to attend. Private functions, such as weddings and corporate events, are sometimes allowed in some parks.
Read our terms and conditions before submitting your application.
Refer to the scale of charges for your event at your chosen park
Community or volunteering activities
We also have many friends and community groups who organise practical conservation events and activities. If you are from one of these groups, apply using the community and volunteering activities form below.
Make sure you include the number of expected participants, and key information including the time of the event. If there will be more than 100 participants, you should fill in the main use of parks application.
If you do not provide this information, there may be a delay in approving the activity.
