Street party licence
In most cases you will not need a licence to hold a street party but you ;will need to notify Suffolk County Council if you intend to hold one (phone 0345 606 6171).
If you plan to sell alcohol or provide entertainment to the wider community (not just your neighbourhood) then you may need a Temporary Events Notice (TEN)
If you want to close the road you will need to apply to Suffolk County Council. Closing a no-through road needs six weeks notice and an event order (closing a through road) needs at least three months notice.
