Planning a Street Party in South Hams?

Coronation street party

If you are planning to host a street party to mark the coronation of His Majesty King Charles III and Her Majesty The Queen Consort, Devon County Council is inviting communities to apply for a free street party licence.

Please apply using their online basic street party application to close off your street, this is available on their website.

The cut-off date is 26 March.

If you want to sell alcohol, have regulated entertainment or late night refreshment and don't hold a premises licence or club premises certificate, you can apply for a Temporary Event Notices (TEN). This gives you temporary permission to carry out these licensable activities. Please ensure you apply early. For more information and to apply visit: https://www.southhams.gov.uk/temporary-event-notice
