Public Processions

Public processions, marches and parades are all licensed by the local authorities who work closely with Strathclyde Police to ensure that these events are organised in a safe manner and cause minimal disruption and inconvenience.

Following a review by the Scottish Government, the rules governing public processions, marches and parades have been changed and organisers of public processions, marches and parades must give the Council at least 28 days notice of an intention to hold a public procession rather than the previous 7 days.

To ensure that communities are aware of public processions, marches and parades in their area, the Licensing Section will publish details of all applications on the South Ayrshire website. These details are also forwarded to all organisations on the Council's "opt-in" list. Details of public processions applied for after the 1st April 2007 can be viewed below.

Most public processions, marches and parades held within South Ayrshire are traditional, annual events that usually pass without incident. If, however, you wish to comment on a parade which is planned in your area, you can do so in writing to the address shown on this page at least two weeks before the public procession is due to take place.

MS Word Notice of Proposal to Hold a Public Procession
Please complete the Form and Risk Assessment if holding a March, Parade or Public Procession. You must also agree and adhere to the Code of Conduct.
