You can host events in Wyre at many different council-owned sites and buildings. If and where you can host your event depends on when a venue or site is available, traffic restrictions, safety and risk assessments, and if the event is suitable.
Other agencies including the police, other emergency services, Lancashire County Council, and the Highways Agency may also need to be consulted before an event can be approved.
