What is a commercial event?

Commercial events are usually organised by a person or group to make money, even if the purpose is to raise money for a good cause.

  • the event will be aiming to attract the wider community for a commercial purpose
  • trading will be the main feature of the event
  • the event organiser will be charging a pitch fee to trade at the event

You must apply at least two months before your event.

The fee for a commercial event is £338.

Full consent can last for up to one year, and allows you to trade at commercial events, such as farmers' markets and free-to-enter car boot sales and trade with catering vans, whether static (such as kebab vans) or mobile (such as ice-cream vans) and other street traders.
