Hosting a Large Event

If you're thinking about hosting a large scale event in the Town of Cambridge, one of our parks or reserves may be the ideal location.

For planning purposes, large scale events such as corporate and community events, concerts, performances and sporting events that have an expected attendance of over 500 people require a longer lead time.

Large events may need Council endorsement and significant consultation before being approved.

So there is enough time to obtain all necessary approvals we recommend you contact us at least six months before the event date.

For small scale (Category 1) events, please see our Parks For Hire page. A general guide to event category size is available in the Related Information section below.
