If you are planning to organise an event in the Cumberland area, you are responsible for the planning, organisation, and operation of your event.
Whatever the size of the event, the safety of the public during the event is the responsibility of the organiser and they are therefore accountable in law. Therefore, in collaboration with the Cumberland Community Safety Partnerships, we have created a guide to support and advise organisers of festivals and events on how to plan, prepare and safely manage their events, ensuring that they have everything in place that needs to be.
The information within this section details the legal requirements required by the Council when planning an event including road closures, event notification and licenses.
