Cash collections, Public assemblies, Equal opportunities and sustainability
Cash collections
Cash collections will only be allowed by registered charitable organisations and will be controlled by the Council's Licensing Department. Where an event involves a charitable collection, consent must be gained and evidenced prior to the event. Further information and guidance is available online
Public assemblies
City Centre spaces are not pre-bookable for public assemblies (this term includes demonstrations), although you are advised to check with us by email to cex-events@manchester.gov.uk to make sure that locations are available before organising such events. Notification should also be given to Greater Manchester Police. This does not impede the right to freedom of speech.
Equal opportunities
Events must comply with the Equality Act 2010 and the Council’s commitment to deliver the best equality outcomes for the city (ref: Equality Act 2010 Public Sector duty.)
Sustainability
Events should be designed to maximise the positive impact on local communities and economies, while reducing any negative impact on the environment. We ask that consideration is given to sustainability factors when organising an event.
