Public processions and parades

Stirling Council must be notified of any public processions, marches or parades. Stirling Council works closely with Police Scotland ensuring events are organised in a safe manner and cause minimal disruption. All notifications received by Stirling Council will be shared with the Chief Constable and Stirling Council Roads Team.

All marches and parades must adhere to the Council's Guidance and Standard Conditions.

If you wish to submit a notification, the procession notification form is available below.

You must also complete the online risk assessment form. 

A risk assessment is required to understand what dangers and risks might be associated with holding your event.

You should complete the risk assessment and notification forms at least 28 days before you plan to hold a procession.

The form will take you through the most common areas of risk that Stirling Council and the Police might want to raise with you. If you have any questions about this process, email publicprocessions@stirling.gov.uk.

We will assess the risks associated with holding your procession within the first two weeks of us receiving your notification and risk-assessment forms. The Police and Roads Department may wish to raise issues with you about how your assessment compares to ours.  Further meetings may be required.
