STEP 1 -  If you want to be a part of The Streets email your local producer, details found on our contact page.

STEP 2 -  We will contact you to establish how you want to be involved and schedule a visit to your business for further conversation and follow-up. 

STEP 3 - If you want to host a live performance, and your business is suitable for this, we will discuss with you the best performance space on your premises and other production issues. 

STEP 4 - We will attend your staff meetings, if you wish, and brief staff on how the day will run and how to promote it to the public. 

STEP 5 - We will give you Streets flyers and posters and other information on how to engage with Streets social media. 

STEP 5 - We will stay in touch during the lead-up to the event and give you a schedule of running times and other important practical information. 

STEP 6 - On the day, we will have a small production team running the event – organising the artists and their equipment, introducing the acts, liaising with you and your staff.

WHAT BUSINESSES HAVE SAID

“[From hosting The Streets] we realised how flexible our space is…It gave us the confidence to promote ourselves as a venue and use it for our own events…We are now on the radar as a venue for other events ranging from board meetings to hosting an act during the Wandsworth Fringe Festival.” Wandsworth Oasis charity shop

“Firstly, I want to say many thanks for arranging such a fantastic event for Tooting and our market. The reaction and energy was wonderful. Everyone had a great time and our traders were really pleased that you were able to attract crowds of visitors in and through the market. I would recommend your project to any market, council, Town Centre, as the results were brilliant.”  Tooting Market

“It was amazing to be a part of The Streets. Over the 2 days there was a real buzz in the air with all the activity…We noticed a significant increase in sales on the Saturday…we doubled our takings that day.
