Holding an event on a Lambeth park or open space
We are currently taking applications for 2009 events, and the parks are being booked up quickly. If you would like to hold an event we would recommend you start planning it now and booking the space soon.
Don't forget Lambeth has three bandstands, including the oldest and largest surviving bandstand in Greater London at Clapham Common.
Licensing
When applying to hold an event it is important to determine whether you require a licence. It can take up to three months to obtain a licence, so remember to book the park and get your licence application in early.
Guides for arranging events
A new Lambeth Events Guide will be published and available for download soon. this guide gives advice on how to organise an event on an open space in Lambeth.
