Organising Events

What sort of events does the North Norfolk Safety Advisory Group (SAG) consider?
 
In general the SAG considers large scale public events, although smaller events may require the involvement of the SAG depending on the event.  These events will usually be held outdoors, possibly with marquees or other temporary buildings. Typical examples of events would include: 
  • Fetes, fairs etc
  • Open air concerts and music festivals
  • Firework displays
  • Processions, marches and carnivals
  • Street parties
  • Religious events

In exceptional circumstances the SAG may consider an event with unusual hazards or risks held inside a building.

When planning an event involving more than 10,000 people a minimum of 6 months notice should be sought.  For an event involving between 500 to10,000 people a minimum of 3 months notice should be sought.

SPECIAL NOTE: North Norfolk SAG is not responsible for granting licenses for events.  To find out more about licensing, follow this link:

Street Parties

Street parties and fetes are a good way to get to know your neighbours and can bring people of all ages together. Find out how to plan a small party or fete and what permission, insurance or licences you need.
