Organise and stage an event in Doncaster
What is this for?
It’s important we have details of all events taking place in Doncaster so we can ensure where possible that we help you to make your event as smooth to plan and deliver as possible. There are lots of things to consider, other events at the same time, roadworks, traffic management to mention a few. We want to help you to make sure you can plan and deliver the best event possible.
All events should be organised with the safety of the participants, spectators and officials foremost in the planning process as well as the protection of the local community and the environment.
If you tell us about your event we will do what we can to help you by directing you to the most appropriate places to get help. Please be aware there may be more forms to fill in once your event starts to progress – but for now this will help us to help you.
What is it going to cost?
There is no upfront costs involved at this stage. But please be aware that there could be costs moving forward for things like licenses or road closures. We will advise you of these if they are required.
