We have introduced a set of fees and charges for the commercial use of parks and open spaces (from 01 April 2023). This is in accordance with our Open Space Strategy proposal to generate money for investment.
Fees and charges for our parks and open spaces
Our fees and charges apply from 01 April to 31 March and are reviewed each year.

Ranger events
Charges range from £4 to £16 per person and depend on event. These events are VAT exempt.
Large events
If your event is considered to be of a large scale ie with a large number of attendees, heavy build and take down, highly disruptive to normal park operations; we will need a full event manual and organisational meetings prior to the event. We ask for at least 3 months' notice for events considered to be of a large scale.
