Busking guidelines
- Please register with us, and book and confirm your slot before busking.
- We recommend buskers keep a distance of at least 75 metres from each other to avoid one performance disturbing the other.
- Busking should not be carried out for more than 45 minutes at a time at any one location after which you should move on to another location not less than 20 metres from that location.
- Please show your registration, and booking slot confirmation, to a police officer or officer of Chichester District Council when requested.
- There may be circumstances when a police officer or officer of Chichester District Council will ask you to adjust your performance or to stop busking. This may follow investigation of complaints or concerns for safety. If instructed by a police officer or officer of Chichester District Council you should stop busking immediately.
- You must cause no obstruction either to members of the public or to private premises.
- Any amplification shall be kept to a reasonable level and the amplification will be immediately reduced in level or turned off if requested by a police officer or officer of Chichester District Council.
- No motor vehicles or structures of any size are permitted in the highway in connection with busking. You may use a seat if required for you to perform.
- No sales of pre-recorded music tapes or CDs will be permitted, unless under the authority of a Street Trading Consent.
- Please refer to the council's rules on charitable collections.
- This registration can be withdrawn by the Chichester District Council at any time.
- I understand and agree that the personal information I have submitted with this application will be shared with relevant partners for the purpose of processing and managing busking registrations and bookings within the Chichester District. Such partners include, but may not be limited to, the police, Chichester BID, and Chichester City Council.
