Premises License Application

Visitors to the Park will have spotted notices advertising the Trust’s application to Central Bedfordshire Council for a premises license. This will allow us to hold events in four grassed areas within the Country Park. These are:

  • The grass between the Centre and the small lake in front of the café
  • The overflow car park
  • The large meadow used for Woodworks
  • The large meadow used for car parking for large events.

 The license will allow us to carry on with activities as usual; the likes of Woodworks and our tribute night as well as anything that requires a marquee, such as weddings and some of our successful corporate events.

 Whilst we currently don’t have plans to hold any new or different events in the Park, the license will bring us into line with Central Bedfordshire Council’s requirements and give us some flexibility to run additional events in the future should opportunities arise.
