Host an event in parks

Our parks and outdoor spaces are available to hire for large or small events. You just need a clear event purpose, clear plan and safety measures.

All events must be approved by the Vision Redbridge Culture and Leisure Events Team. Each event is unique and we need a clear outline of the event before we can confirm if it can be held in one of our parks or outdoor spaces. Once we have received your application we will make a provisional booking and provide you with a named contact.
