Street Parties
We want everyone to have a great time and make their party go with a swing, so we've made it really easy for you to get your party started.
So that we know what you are planning and that we can provide you with as much help and advice as possible, we need you to complete and return a simple form, which can be accessed from this page, on the right hand side. The form is in .pdf format and is editable so all you need to do is save it to your computer, fill it out and email it back to us.
To give us enough time to put things in place, you must return the completed form at least 6 weeks before your event - our contact details are opposite. Once we have received your form we will contact you with any help or support to make sure that you have a great day.
In the meantime, we have put together some advice notes that you can download in areas such as food safety, health and safety, noise and road closures.
Useful information about organising a street party, including safety information, can be found on the DirectGov website and also on the Health and Safety Executive website.

The Solihull News 11th June 1977 had a supplement featuring celebrations in the borough (including this one) and says of this picture that 350 people attended the street party in Berkley Road, including 40 children from Father Hudson’s Homes in Coleshill.
The picture right shows a street party in Berkley Road, Shirley in June 1977.
Are you planning a street party this year?
After the event please share any stories or photos with us so we can add them to Solihull’s archives and keep the memories for future generations.
Start with the Street Party Memory sheet and return it and any photos to the Solihull Heritage and Local Studies Service.
