Thinking of organising a street party? All you need to know, and an application form, can be found at www.streetparty.org.uk. 

The Department for Communities and Local Government also has useful information for street party organisers, including a downloadable guide.

If you are still thinking of going ahead, please contact your district council who will assess your application. Your local contacts are:

• Cherwell District Council
• Oxford City Council
• South Oxfordshire District Council
• Vale Of White Horse District Council
• West Oxfordshire District Council

Insurance

Please note that when making an application to hold a street party, we recommend that organisers hold public liability insurance cover as they may be held legally liable to pay compensation if an accident occurs or some third party's property is damaged.

It is however, no longer a prerequisite when applying for permission to your district council.
