Hire a local park for an event

Planning your event

When at the planning stage, discuss your ideas with others - form a committee, share out the tasks and responsibilities, including fundraising, marketing, health and safety, and project planning.

Research your event ideas, including checking out other events nearby to avoid clashes.

You need to be aware of the responsibilities of organising an event. The Health and Safety Executive website has some very useful safety information.

You will also need to look into the licensing and legal responsibilities of holding an event.
