No. If you organise a parade or public procession without a Parade Licence you could imprisoned for up to six months and also potentially face paying a fine of £5,000. Talk about raining on your parade.

Yes. Event Stewards should be positioned throughout the event at all times. This is the responsibility of event organisers and should be in place before applying for a Parade Licence.
