Major scale commercial event application - RALLY Festival and Bermondsey Carnival 2025

The council has received an application from an event promoter (Assembled GALA Ltd) who is requesting to hold a major-scale, ticketed, music event in Southwark Park in August 2025.

In accordance with the council's Outdoor Events Policy, the council's Events team is consulting with stakeholders so that they have an opportunity to comment on the application and event proposals that have been put forward.

All responses to the consultation will be recorded and a ‘consultation findings’ report will be published once feedback has been reviewed. The review process involves collating feedback from a number of council teams and external agencies - the aim will be to publish the report as soon as possible after the consultation has closed and by no later than the end of April. The report will be circulated to all those who have taken part in the consultation (if they have provided an email address) and published on this site.

While individual responses may be referenced in the report, anything that might personally identify a respondent will be removed or redacted.

It is the intention to circulate details of this consultation broadly in order to hear the views and opinions of as many people as possible; please pass on this information to anyone you think might be interested in taking part. 

Please make sure you read the supporting documents for full details about this consultation before completing the survey.

The event operators will be facilitating two community engagement sessions on Thursday 20 March (starting at 12pm and 6pm). These sessions will enable people to learn more about plans for the event directly from the event operators. The sessions will be held at a venue local to the park. If you would like to attend either session, please contact: community@rallyrallyrally.co.uk
