Outdoor Space events
To obtain permission to have an event in an open space on campus (anything outside of buildings), it needs to be approved by the University's Event Permission Group. These are elected respresentatives from several areas of the university, who consider the implications of the event on the surrounding area.
To do this, you must complete an Event Permission Form (under documents and forms at the bottom of the page) and risk assessment to cover the event. This must be submitted with our event coordinator's approval once the forms are completed and you are ready to send them. Please ensure you have allowed 4 - 6 weeks notice of the event.
Please send your completed documents to union.opportunities@uea.ac.uk to approve. Once we have approved your application, we will send it onto UEA Open Spaces team to approve and liaise with you directly.

Information on how to book a BBQ can be found here.
A BBQ for 12 or less students can be booked by completing the form on the page here. On weekdays you will usually have a response within 24 hours.
All BBQ’s for more than 12 people must complete an Event Permissions Form and fill out a Risk Assessment, whether clubs, societies or schools. Bookings for more than 12 people must be from a SU Club or Society or from a UEA Department or School. Individuals can only book for a maximum of 12 people. Find out more here.

Balls/Christmas parties
We are happy for student groups to book things like balls and Christmas parties at external venues. Please remember however to make us aware of this and send us through all contracts before signing anything. You will also need to send us through your risk assessment before your event takes place. You can send these through to union.opportunities@uea.ac.uk. Please also make yourselves aware of the SU’s finance processes for paying invoices.
Other external events/activities
If you are planning any other event or activity off campus, please make us aware of this and send us through all contracts before signing anything. If your event doesn't involve an external venue, such as playing rounders in a local park, you will just need to make sure you send a risk assessment through to us to sign off before your event takes place. You can send these through to union.opportunities@uea.ac.uk.
As you can imagine, we are currently receiving a high volume of queries so please be patient with us as we aim to work through these as quickly as possible. Please also allow yourselves plenty of time when organising your events and activities, we would recommend at least 4 weeks for smaller events and 6-8 weeks for larger events.
For any questions, please email union.opportunities@uea.ac.uk and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.
