Fees

Charity and voluntary sector organisations

Charities and voluntary sector organisations can book a static promotional pitch for a charitable event. Hire fees for pitches and flexible roaming permits still apply, but we may be able to offer the space at a reduced rate. Please contact us before submitting your booking request.

There's no charge for any organisation or person wanting to book promotional space for a charitable street collection through bucket fundraising.

You must have a charitable street collections licence for the time of your promotional event. You'll need to have booked your promotional event space with us before applying for this licence. If your booking is accepted, this will be on a provisional basis until we've received confirmation you've been granted a charitable street collections licence.

If your licence is declined, your promotional event space will be cancelled.

Food and drink promotions

For food and drink promotions, you're only allowed to offer sample size food and drinks.

Samples of alcohol are not permitted. If your promotion involves advertising alcohol, this will be referred to our Public Health team.

Booking restrictions

We're unable to accept bookings for promotions which conflict with our core values and policies. For this reason, bookings for space to promote the following are not permitted:

• gambling
• tobacco
• vaping
• other smoking related products
• any product of a harmful, undesirable, offensive and objectionable nature

Promotional event spaces also aren't bookable for:

• public assemblies (including demonstrations); you should contact South Yorkshire Police for advice
• political-related events
• religious instruction

We'll consider the scale and nature of your event, our priorities, and our programme of events when considering your booking.

Using our spaces

When planning to use one of our spaces, you should think about the following:

• Outdoor promotional event pitches are uncovered, so think about the weather.
• The setting up of a promotional event is your responsibility.
• Static pitches aren't supplied with any equipment.
• There isn't a power source available in any of our promotional spaces. The use of generators needs written permission prior to booking. We'll also only consider silent diesel-powered generators.

Vehicle use

• Being in and around main high streets, some of our sites aren't accessible to vehicles. They may also have restrictions on when you can come and go.
• Vehicles which have been given permission to remain on site must form part of the promotion. The vehicle must be fully branded.
• Branded vehicles given permission to remain on site in Barnsley town centre within the pedestrianised core retail of the high street must be in position by 9:30am and will not be able to move until 4:30pm. This is to adhere with a traffic regulation order. Exceptions will apply when instructed to move by the police or council.
