A dispersal order will come into force in Clifton and surrounding areas at 4pm on Friday 30 October, police have announced.
Clifton Police said the Section 34 order would apply throughout the weekend, with officers visible in the area to deter anti-social behaviour and take action where necessary.
The order gives officers powers to direct people to leave a defined area and stay away for a specified period. They can also tell those being dispersed which route to take when leaving.
Police said children under 16 can be taken home or to a place of safety, with their parents or guardians notified.
Refusing to leave, returning after being dispersed or failing to follow instructions without a reasonable excuse is a criminal offence and could result in arrest.
The force explained that a Section 34 dispersal order is authorised by an inspector under the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 when there are increased concerns about anti-social behaviour, crime or disorder.
