Guildford Borough Council has joined the growing number of local authorities using EventApp to modernise how special-event permitting is handled across the borough. EventApp helps streamline applications, reduces administrative overheads and makes it easier for organisers of community gatherings to get the permissions they need.
What this means for organisers and council teams
Faster, clearer applications. EventApp’s online application forms collect the right information up front so organisers spend less time filling in paperwork and council officers see the whole application at a glance.
Built-in collaboration. Messaging, document sharing and multi-department approvals all happen inside the system, reducing email chains and lost paperwork.
Payments and permits in one place. Invoices, payments and automatic permit generation are handled inside EventApp, helping councils track income and issue permits quickly.
Better reporting and oversight. Instant reporting helps the council monitor workloads, revenue and service performance, which is useful when planning for the busy event seasons.
Why Guildford is a great fit
Guildford hosts a wide range of outdoor activities, everything from riverside celebrations at Dapdune Wharf to larger annual gatherings such as DogFest at Loseley, as well as the regular markets and community festivals. EventApp will make it simpler for organisers of these events to apply for a permit, and for council teams to manage these permissions consistently and transparently.
How organisers can get started
If you run an event in Guildford (or are thinking about organising one), the council’s move to EventApp means there will soon be a clear online route for applications, required documents and payments. For local community groups, market operators and commercial organisers this should reduce turnaround times and make communication with the council much easier.
