Organising an event

If you are organising a public event, you need to contact us. We are part of a Safety Advisory Team (SAT) who help make sure your event complies with the law and is run safely.

The team consists of officers from this council, Hertfordshire Constabulary, Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, East of England Ambulance Service, Hertfordshire Highways, Hertfordshire County Council and the Health and Safety Executive. We need to know when and what events are due to take place in Hertsmere, to ensure community safety during the event.

Please complete our form and return it. You may be asked to attend a meeting to discuss your proposed event in more detail.

• Event notification form

The following guides will help you plan your event:

• Health safety and welfare at music and similar events
• A guide to safe and successful events' for up to 500 visitors leaflet

If your event includes alcohol or has regulated entertainment you will need a Temporary Event Notice (TEN), or a Premise Licence.

If your event is a street party, there is useful information below or see Hertfordshire County Council's information.
