Street parties are a traditional part of community life; they are a simple way for us to get to know our neighbours and meet members of our community.
What sort of events does this apply to?
This is about the sort of street parties that groups of residents get together to arrange for their neighbours. The main differences between a small street party and other public events are listed below:
| Street Parties | Other Public events |
| For residents/neighbours only | Anyone can attend |
| Publicity only to residents | External publicity (such as in newspapers) |
| In a quiet residential road or street | In buildings, parks etc. |
| Self-organised | Professional/skilled organisers |
| Normally no insurance | Insurance needed |
| No formal risk assessment needed | Risk assessment common |
| No licences normally necessary if music incidental and no selling is involved | Licence usually needed |
