Charities and community groups can make use of Allerdale Borough Council’s free gazebo hire service, saving on some of the costs of running an outdoor community event.

Whilst there is no charge for the gazebo hire, organisations will be responsible for the costs of arranging their own collection and return, as well as any costs associated with the putting up and taking down of the gazebos.

Eligible organisations will be registered charities based in Allerdale, namely national or local registered charities with a presence in Allerdale such as retail premises, community facilities or service delivery in Allerdale and Allerdale-based community organisations with a constitution.

Unincorporated community groups will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Commercial organisations namely limited companies, partnerships and sole traders will not be eligible to apply to hire gazebos under this scheme.

The gazebos are 3m x 3m, have side panels and are of robust quality and full set up instructions are also provided.

Gazebos will be available to hire if not already in use at Allerdale Borough Council’s events and markets. Usage is free.

To apply to hire gazebos, please complete the application form and here are the terms and conditions.
