Events applications in Hampstead Heath

Hampstead Heath is a fantastic place to hold all sorts of events and we welcome applications from anyone who'd like to use the Heath. 

Update for 2026

We are not taking any more applications for new events in 2026. If you would like to apply to hold a public or community event in 2027, please fill in the Event Application Form.

To enquire about private hire of the Athletics Track for an event, please contact the team. 

Apply to hold an event

To apply to hold an event, email Hampstead Heath and we will send you an application form.

Upon completion of this form, return it by email and it will be considered by the Team.

Please note

We look at applications on a case-by-case basis to make sure we're putting the needs of the Heath and our everyday visitors first. That does mean we can't say yes to every application.

We charge a non-refundable application fee of £29.70 for community events and £59.25 for commercial events, which covers officer time spent reviewing submitted applications. This will be charged when the application is reviewed.
