To hold an event in a public outdoor space in Southwark, you must apply to us for permission.
We define an ‘event’ as something which is not part of the usual daily activity associated with a space.
Download out outdoor events policy (PDF, 369KB) to find out how we classify different types of event and the procedures we need to follow.
If you’re planning a larger event, consider submitting a proposal to us first. We can discuss your ideas before you complete the application. You may also need to arrange a meeting with an event operations officer.
Email events@southwark.gov.uk or call 020 7525 2000.
All application must be submitted through EventApp and there is a fee to apply.
