There is a limited capacity to run smaller scale events throughout the year in the parks. Applications for small events will be considered by the relevant park office and would require at least 6 weeks’ notice.
Small events are typically:
- sponsored runs, walks, etc. for a few hundred people
- picnics
- community sports competitions
- guided walks
- one-off small performing arts events - e.g. outdoor opera, a recital or small theatre production on a bandstand - with an expected audience of a few hundred people.
For further information on small events, please refer to the Small Events in the Royal Parks Guide (PDF 119.09 KB).
