Introduction
We do not provide licenses to people wishing to busk within the city centre. However, any busker wishing to sell his/her pre-recorded tapes or CDs, a street trading consent will need to be applied for.
Application and fees
Busking in the city centre is not licensed and is free of charge.
Qualifying criteria
Please refer to the code of conduct for full details of busking requirements.
Will tacit consent apply if I want to sell items alongside my performance?
No. It is in the public interest that we must process your application for a street trading consent before you sell items in conjunction with your performance. If you have not heard from us with a reasonable period (14 calendar days) please contact us.
Redress
It is always advisable to make contact with the City Centre Officer by emailing city.centre.services@peterborough.gov.uk and giving details of any complaints e.g.; busker conflict, public complaint, etc.
