Charitable Collections

If you would like to collect money or sell articles for the benefit of charitable organisations, you must hold a charitable collection permit which Fareham Borough Council have issued to you. More information is available on the Charitable collection permits page. Your application for a charitable collection permit must be received at least 28 days before the date of your desired collection.

Buskers

Buskers do not need to book to perform on West Street and do not need a licence. However, we do ask that buskers book in if they wish to use the Performance Podium to ensure that it is available. Without booking the Performance Podium, those who have booked and receive a booking consent letter have priority for this space and the busker must move on to another part of West Street.

Terms and Conditions

Whether you have booked a space or are busking without a booking, you will need to stick to the following conditions:

• Please be mindful of nearby shops and pedestrians. The Council reserves the right to terminate any booking and ask any busker or trader to leave if ongoing complaints are received.
• It is an offence under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 to cause a nuisance with equipment in the street.If complaints are received by the council and you are asked by an Authorised Officer of the Council to move location, reduce volume, end the session etc then you must comply with any such instruction, failure to do so may result in further action and/or refusal of future bookings.

Full terms and Conditions and booking day instructions are included within the traders/busking consent letter once the booking is confirmed. These can also be made available upon request.
