Portsmouth / BEFORE YOU ASK
Portsmouth City Council describes a seafront running from Old Portsmouth towards Eastney, with beaches, promenade and green spaces including Southsea Common. Those different settings need more than a general seafront address.
Describe the locality and postcode district, rather than only Southsea or the promenade. Share exact private addresses and delivery details directly with your chosen supplier. Ask the host for the route from unloading to the room or approved outdoor setup area.
If you want outdoor food service, confirm the space you may use and what facilities it includes. Discuss cover and equipment with the supplier, and agree where the gathering moves if conditions change.
If the event coincides with a public programme on the seafront, ask the venue about expected access arrangements. Check current visitor guidance before issuing directions; do not assume the normal route will apply.
Give the date, approximate guests, total budget, venue type and service window. Keep names, contact details, exact private addresses and named health information out of the shared brief.
