Events on Council Land

Following the Government's announcement that from Monday 14 September groups of six or more people will not be allowed to congregate, we have suspended bookings for events on council-owned land.

Thanks for your understanding and patience during this time.

Most car park, parks and gardens are available to be used for community events. If you want to book Council land for an event, find out how below.

How do I book an event?

It is important that if you are planning an event on Council land that you consider carefully how you will put on a safe and enjoyable event. To assist in this, we have produced a guide which you can download from the right side of this page.

What information do you need?

You will need to submit the following:-

  • Proof of Public Liability insurance for up to £5,000,000
  • A Risk Assessment.
  • A Waste Management Plan.
  • A Site Plan.

We require a minimum of 28 days' notice in advance of any proposed event. If an application is submitted with less than 28 days' notice, it will automatically be refused.

How much will it cost?

West Devon Borough Council applies an administration fee of £55 plus VAT per event.

Payment is required when completing the application. Please select "EVENT BOOKING" from the dropdown list of payment options on the "Need to pay for something" page.
