-
with publicity only to residents
-
self-organised by the local residents
-
usually with music incidental and no selling involved
We Love Street Parties
The council is keen to encourage and support small scale street parties in Eastbourne by making it as easy as possible for you to apply for permission.
We will not normally charge for road closures for street parties or other small scale events by charitable or community organisations.
Do You Need a Licence?
No licences are normally necessary if music is incidental to the event and no selling is involved.
In this section you can find out what permissions you need for street parties (usually a road closure application), and any additional permissions or licences needed for certain activities or larger events.
