Applications
Land Use
If your event requires the use of land or parks contact placebookings@scotborders.gov.uk for Common Good land.
There may be costs associated with the use of land. For all private landowners it is essential to gain permission well in advance. This can often be a time-consuming process if there are multiple landowners involved with the process, so please allow for this.
Licences
Not all events will require a licence application, however often events will require 1 or more applications which should be submitted well in advance of your event.
Some common event licences are:
- Public Entertainment
- Market Operators
- Occasional Licence
- Marches
- Parades
You can find further information on licence requirements.
Contact liquorandlicensing@scotborders.gov.uk if you are unsure of your licencing requirements or application deadlines.
Roads
Certain events or parades require the use and sometimes closure of roads.
Our roads framework provides a comprehensive guide for event organisers requiring the use of roads.
