Small community events on public open spaces

Many of our open space areas, including cliff tops and green space, are managed by New Forest District Council, so permission will be needed prior to holding your event. Complete an application form below.

We are happy to advise on the suitability of sites, you can email us at open.spaces@nfdc.gov.uk.

If your event is likely to attract more than 200 people, requires licencing or has some high risk activities, you can find additional advice on our Organising an event pages.
