Welcome to Ashford Borough Council EventApp

Ashford Borough Council uses Eventapp to administer notifications of events to the Safety Advisory Group.

Before planning your event please make sure that the land you want to use is available and suitable for the type of event you are proposing. 

Before you apply, we recommend that you read the Event Guidance, which you will find in the ‘Useful Documents’ section on the right hand side of this page. 

This online application will go through each aspect of your event. You may be required to upload the following to the ‘Supporting Documents’;

  • Event Management Plan
  • Risk Assessment 
  • Traffic Management Plan/Map
  • Public Liability Insurance (minimum £5m)
  • Covid Risk Assessment
  • Medical Checklist

In addition, if your event (such as a street party, parade, carnival, etc.) is on or near a highway you may need to apply for a road closure. Depending on the type of closure, you may need to allow at least 12 weeks before the event. Some road closures are managed by Ashford Borough Council and some by Kent County Council. Please ensure you give enough notice for the road closure you require. More information can be found below via the link below:
