From 1st April 2024, the Council will apply an Event Application Administration Fee for the processing of event applications submitted by commercial event organisers.
The administration fee for event applications are:
- Commercial £200
- Charity £50
- Community: Free
Who does the administration fee apply to?
The administration fee applies to commercial event organisers undertaking activity to generate income from the planned event with the goal to make an economic profit.
Commercial event organisers include registered businesses and self-employed individuals.
Pay the fee
Commercial and Charity event organisers, once the event application form has been submitted, will receive confirmation from the Council’s Event Safety Service with the administration fee that needs to be paid.
You may be required to provide evidence that the majority of profits from your event have been donated to charity.
The organiser will then need to visit the Council’s website, enter their contact details, provide their ‘Event Name’ and pay the administration fee via a credit/debit card.
No other form of payment will be accepted. Go to miscellaneous payments > event notification application fee > application fee and fill in your details.

Refunds and cancellations
The Event Application Administration Fee is payable upon application and is non refundable. The Council will also not refund the application administration fee should the event be cancelled.
