Municipality Rheden: Applying for an event licence
If you wish to organise an event, you must notify the municipality and, in some cases, apply for a permit. You can check this online using the permit check (vergunningscheck).
For many small events, you do not need a permit. In such cases, you can provide notification of the event free of charge. Please contact us evenementen@rheden.nl .
Large events with more than 2 000 visitors must be notified 16 weeks in advance. Smaller events must be notified 8 to 14 weeks in advance.
You do not need a permit in the following situations:
- there are fewer than 150 attendees at the busiest time.
- the event is outdoors and will last no more than 1 day.
- the event is between 10.00 and 24.00.
- the noise level will not exceed 80 dB(C) on the façades of dwellings in the immediate proximity of the event.
- the event is not taking place on roads.
- the event will not disrupt traffic or shipping
- you place a maximum of 2 small objects with a surface area of less than 10 m2 per object, such as a bouncy castle or a barbecue.
- you do not sell items, food or alcohol.
- you do not use animals at your event.
- you do not advertise in order to attract visitors/spectators, and you do not sell admission tickets.
If you do not meet these conditions, you will need a permit.
