Licences - fairgrounds

This service is available to local residents, schools or other organisations and is aimed at promoting the facilities of the local area and providing education and enjoyment for all. Organisers of events and outdoor activities in local rural and urban parks including public open spaces are required to give the Local Authority notice prior to holding an event.

Enfield Parks host a variety of events, so why not visit our Bandstand concerts at Hillyfields or Broomfield Park if you want to relax and enjoy the entertainment, or if you want to get active and help improve our parks get involved with our ‘Conservation Volunteer groups’.

We host events ranging from family funfairs to sponsored walks.

Host your own event – Event Guidelines
Event organisers are required to complete the following forms:

Event Questionnaire – (1mb PDF)
Event Risk Assessment - (800kb PDF)

These forms are to be returned via email to the Parks Business Unit within the designated notice period set which is 8 weeks for events under 2000 visitors and 3 months for events over 2000 visitors. The event questionnaire can also be obtained via the Parks Business Unit and will be assessed individually on receipt. The event questionnaire needs to be completed ensuring all relevant information and copies of documentation are submitted. Correspondence will be issued confirming or declining the event.

All questionnaires will be individually assessed, however a minimum charge of £100 would normally apply to all events.

Residents that may be in the vicinity of the park/open space would need to be consulted with including obtaining any necessary approvals of the Police, Fire Brigade, and Ambulance services as well as any other relevant authority.

Event organisers for the duration of the event should provide and maintain public liability insurance with a limit of indemnity of not less than £5,000,000 (five million pounds only) in respect of any one accident or series of accidents arising as result of the event.
