Planning an event in one of our parks?

We welcome event organisers into our Borough and have a number of parks and open spaces available for hire. 

To organise an event in St Helens you will need to follow the instructions on the Park Events Planning Instruction  guide (PDF, 139 KB)(opens new window) This guide is tailored to events of less than 1,000 attendees but is useful for understanding our procedures for any event. 

We need notice to help you plan your event:

The notification time frames are necessary to allow the services who may support your event to consider the information provided. Notification provided after these time periods may result in your event not being granted land hire permission as the required services may not be able to support you with the appropriate advice you may require.
