Alcohol and entertainment licences
If you would like to sell or supply alcohol at your event, or provide regulated entertainment, such as music or dancing for the purposes of entertaining an audience, in an area that doesn’t already have a premises licence, will need to apply for a premises licence or a temporary event notice (TEN).
- Applications for premises licences must be made a minimum of 28 day before they are required. You should also allow extra time to appeal possible objections to a licence.
- Applications for temporary event notices (TENs) must be made a minimum of 10 days before they are required. You should also allow extra time to appeal possible objections to a licence.
There are circumstances where entertainment isn't licensable. You can find guidance here but please contact the licensing team if you have any questions.
