If you are planning to hold an event within the Harborough we would like to hear from you.
The Council is not responsible for approving or managing events within the Harborough district other than those which take place on Council-owned land. The vast majority of events do not take place on Council land, however, we will be involved if an event needs a licence such as for the sale of alcohol.
However, we would like to know about events that are taking place in the district, no matter how small or large.
Tell us about your event and get advice
Event organisers are responsible for and should ensure that all necessary permissions and licences are in place before an event goes ahead and have the relevant permission from the landowner.
For events that affect the highway, including pavements and road closures, there is advice on what you need to do on the Leicestershire County Council website.
