Booking & Permitting Notice
Booking online reserves your initial conversation with the venue. Please note that for events over 150 people, the official permit and planning process requires 120 days (four months) advance notice (or 90 days for repeat bookings). Clients are explicitly responsible for pulling all of their own permits (including alcohol permits) and handling all logistics, setup, and tear-down. Hatchetland Underground provides the venue space and natural landscape only.
Permit Requirements & Event Planning Information
Certain events may require permits through Park County depending on attendance, event activities, and event duration. Organizers planning events exceeding 150 guests should prepare well in advance to ensure all county requirements are satisfied before event day.
Hatchetland provides venue information and property details needed during the planning process; however, obtaining permits, submitting applications, and paying associated fees remain the responsibility of the event organizer. No event requiring permits may proceed without the appropriate approvals.
Important Considerations:
- Events over 150 attendees may require county permits
- Permit timelines can exceed several months
- Applications and fees are the organizer's responsibility
- Event plans may require county review
- Organizers must comply with all applicable regulations
Planning Ahead Helps Avoid Delays
First-time event organizers should allow a minimum of 120 days before their scheduled event to begin the permit process. This timeline provides adequate opportunity for county review, application processing, and any additional requirements that may arise during approval.
Hatchetland is happy to provide property information that may assist during the application process. Organizers are encouraged to begin planning early, especially for large festivals, concerts, camping events, and multi-day gatherings.
Permit Planning Tips:
- Start the process at least 120 days before the event
- Verify attendance estimates early
- Review sanitation requirements
- Plan for parking and camping logistics
- Secure required vendors and contractors
- Confirm approvals before advertising final event dates
Early planning helps ensure a smoother process and allows organizers to focus on creating a successful event experience.
