Planning a special event for Valentines Day?
As Valentine’s Day approaches, many businesses and event organisers plan special events to celebrate love and connection. If you’re considering hosting a temporary event for this occasion, it’s essential to understand the licensing requirements in your area.
Temporary events notices explained –
Temporary event notices (TENs) enable small-scale, public events to take place at a location that is not already licensed without the need for a full premises licence, where one or more of the following licensable activities will take place:
- selling alcohol (or supplying it for free at a ticketed event)
- offering “regulated entertainment” such as plays, films, indoor sports, boxing or wrestling, music and dancing or similar
- supplying food above room temperature between 11pm and 5am
No more than 499 people, including staff, may attend the event at any one time. If there are 500 people or more, a full premises licence will be required.
Whether the event is intended for a charitable purpose or not makes no difference to the legal licensing requirements.
You don’t even need a Personal Licence to have a Temporary Events Notice, but if you do you can have up to 50 a year.
