Council launches 'park pop-ups' for local businesses

A chance for businesses to take advantage of Bucks greenspaces.

If you're a business owner looking for new opportunities in Buckinghamshire, the council's new 'park pop-ups' scheme could be your ideal chance to grow.

Buckinghamshire Council has many beautiful parks and open spaces used by residents and visitors to the county, and thanks to the new scheme there is a great opportunity for businesses to hire space within some of these council-owned parks this year.

Buckinghamshire Council is seeking interest from 'pop-up' businesses, including but not limited to:  coffee vans​, healthy food vans, bootcamps/personal training​, and commercial events and festivals.

The park pop-ups scheme is a trial for this year and the aim is to have businesses set up to operate in the parks and open spaces in time for the Easter holidays and subsequent summer season.

Clive Harriss, Buckinghamshire Council's Cabinet Member for Culture and Leisure, said:

"Buckinghamshire is a fantastic place to do business, and we know that the county is home to many entrepreneurs and businesses of all shapes and sizes. We're also blessed with beautiful parks and open spaces, so this new project is the perfect way to combine business growth with making use of our green spaces.

"Park pop-ups is something other local authorities around the country have trialled and we are excited to try something new and offer businesses this fantastic opportunity."

Businesses will need to enter into an agreement to hire a pop-up pitch within a park, and to hold public liability insurance and comply with other requirements, dependent on the nature of their activity.
