Street trading at an event
Street traders at an event must apply through the event organiser who will supply us with the required information. Consents will be issued to individual traders.
When an event is agreed in accordance with our events and festivals policy, the event organiser will be supplied with further details of how to apply for street trading consents. Fees for this are based on the number of stalls and the length of the event.
Where an event is agreed after street trading consents have already been issued for the same location, the street trading consents will be honoured and the special event organiser will be required to allow for the traders in the location and trading hours as set out in their consent.
Other licences, permits and consents
Applicants wishing to serve and/or sell alcohol will also need to apply for a temporary event notice (TEN). A TEN must be sent to the licensing team (and the police) at least 10 working days in advance of a planned event.
We strongly recommend that all street trading organisers contact the licensing team whilst they are in the planning stages of their event. Applications may have restrictions put on them by us, such as the number of certain type of trader e.g. food, or the number of total stalls that can be accommodated at the event.
