Street trading licences (general and special event)
About applying to trade on our streets (general trader)
If you would like to trade on our streets (not at a special event) you will need to apply for a street trading licence.
- Applications for street trading licences can take up to two weeks to process.
- You will also need the landowner's consent if the land is private.
- If you are planning to sell food you need to be registered with the local council where your business is based, and have a minimum four star Food Standards Hygiene Rating (find out more).
- If you are not food registered and your business is based in Lichfield District, find out how to register.
- Remember, you may also need other licenses/permits - such as alcohol licenses (such as a TEN) and charity collection permits.
- Licence fees are non-refundable, even if you choose not to trade at a later date - read our street trading policy to find out more.
