The SSDD participant (= organiser of the event) is accountable for the safety of the event and responsible for complying with conditions indicated by the landlord, incl. for example keeping emergency exits free, visible and always open.

There is a shared responsibility between the landlord and the organiser of the event.

Organising event in public space

Public space = The city's streets, squares, parks and other outdoor areas.

Step 1. Find a place

Once you’ve found a place to organise your event, find out who owns the property.

Private owned property
If you want to arrange an event on private owned property, it’s important to get permission from the landlord to arrange an event before applying for a permit from the Police or other authorities.
Property owned by The City of Malmö
For events on properties owned by the City of Malmö, you pay a ”markupplåtelseavgift” (leasing fee) to Fastighets- och Gatukontoret.

Leasing fees

For popular places like Ribersberg, Slottsparken, Stortorget etc. (listed on www.malmo.se) – leasing fees depend on content and area of use:

Step 2. Apply for a police permit

The police charge a fee (870 kr) for processing your application, and only when the application fee is paid will the processing of your case begin.

Apply as early as you can and be sure to include the correct information in your application. Aprox. processing time: 4 weeks.

Step 3. Apply for other permits

Depending on the content of your event, additional permits, notifications or applications may be required. E.g. Selling food, serving alcohol.

Keep in mind that you as an organiser are also responsible for ensuring that the sound environment and sound levels do not risk damaging visitors' hearing.
