• Has an approximate attendance of 30 people or less

If you are unsure whether your event qualifies as a private event, please contact the events team.

Why a permit

By submitting an event application, we can ensure that your event complies with the relevant legislation and regulation, and is undertaken in a compliant safe manner. It also allows the event organiser to secure the space and clarifies the responsibilities and liabilities of all parties.

It is strongly advised that you contact the Events Team, before you start planning your event to ensure that there are no other larger scale event bookings or maintenance works happening in the venue that you are planning on using.
