123. Do I need a license?
In most cases, no – the registration form (Appendix B) and indemnity form (Appendix
C) are sufficient. Specific circumstances:
Food and drink
Bringing drink or food to share with neighbours does not require a license.
If you intend to sell food or drink, however, you may need a license. If you’d like to
sell food whether for charity, to cover costs or to raise funds contact
020 7341 5133
or
streetparty@rbkc.gov.uk
to discuss.
Music
You may play music whether it’s live or recorded as long as your street party is a
private party for residents, you’re not making money from it and the music is not
advertised widely in advance (it can be listed on flyers and publicised to your street).
Acceptable noise standards do still apply so please be considerate (see
spx
for more information).
Tombola/Raffle
No license is needed if tickets are sold on the day, the prizes are not worth more
than £500 in total and the proceeds go to a good cause or are to be used to cover
the costs of the street party.
If tickets are sold in advance of the event, you may need a lottery registration, but
speak to the special events team (see section 9 contact details) if you are planning
this for advice.
4. Insurance and liability
The Council does not require street party/public liability insurance.
However, it is in your own interest to take out public liability insurance so you are
covered in the event of a claim being made against you for an accident or damage
caused by your party. Any reputable insurance company should be able to advise
you on this.
Your Square Mile runs a ‘Citizens Mutual’ that costs £10 per year to join. Joining the
mutual gives you a range of benefits including personal liability insurance for
volunteering and street party insurance:
