Abstract
In the UK, events such as processions and demonstrations are subject to restrictions and can, in extreme circumstances, be prohibited. However, a key issue is what constitutes a demonstration or related event and, in particular, how many participants are required for an event to be labelled as such and become subject to legal considerations. The lack of clarity concerning the definition of a procession or demonstration has led to political activists using walking as a method to secure publicity for their cause.
