Street parties and kit to loan
Easton and Lawrence Hill are the leading Street Party Communities in the country – we are a neighbourly lot! Easton Community Centre loans out ‘road closed’ signs and bunting for street holding parties. We ask for a £10 donation from each event to help pay to replace kit over time, plus a deposit of £20. You need the road signs to close your road – you must apply to Bristol City Council at least 8 weeks in advance – apply here. They will ask the applicant to sign an indemnity form on behalf of the street – this is normal. The Street Party Site explains why don’t need insurance or a risk assessment and has everything you want to know about organising a street party and much more. Larger publicised community events need more arrangements.
To book your street party kit contact Easton Community Centre call 01179 541 409 or email contact@upourstreet.org.uk
Bristol is the Street Party Capital of the UK – see other community centres that lend out signs and bunting.
Residents in Easton and the surrounding area hold 10 – 15 of these private neighbours’ events each year and over 40 streets have held one at some time in the last 10 years.
