Permits and permissions
Why do I need permission? If you wish to organise an event on Forestry Commission land you will need our permission. We need to check that the event is properly organised, has adequate insurance cover and doesn't clash with other events or forest operations. Please give as much notice as possible. Other activities may also require permission, including horse riding. For more details contact the office which covers the area concerned: Cornwall, Devon & West SomersetPeninsula Office, Buller's Hill, Kennford, Exeter, Devon.

We classify an 'event' is anything where participation is open, such as a festival or fair, or where participants will be registering to compete, such as a horse ride, cycle race or orienteering event.
