Apply to hold an event in a park
Event booking update
We are launching a new events portal in April 2025.
To ensure a smooth transition, the previous parks events booking form is no longer available. You will be able to apply to hold an event using the new events portal when it is launched.
Check this page after 1 April for further updates.
About holding an event
Birmingham’s parks and public open spaces are a great place to hold your public event.
We have hosted:
- carnivals
- charity events
- funfairs
- races, and more
You will need permission for any organised outdoor event. You will need to apply at least 12 weeks in advance, especially when it involves:
- large groups of people
- equipment or structures
- music
We recommend that you do not advertise your event until you have written confirmation from us that your event can go ahead.
Normally your event must be open to the general public, but you can charge people to attend. Private functions, such as weddings and corporate events, are sometimes allowed in some parks.
Read our terms and conditions before submitting your application.
Refer to the scale of charges for your event at your chosen park.
How to book an event
You will be able to book an event when we launch our new events portal and booking form in April 2025.
