Entertainment & liquor licensing
Premises Licences
Licensable activities which need a Premises Licence are as follows:-
- a) The sale of alcohol
- b) The supply of alcohol in a qualifying club (previously a registered club)
- c) The provision of regulated entertainment
- d) The provision of late night refreshment.
One or all of these activities can be contained on the Premises Licence.
In order to provide licensable activities to the public you are going to need one of three types of permission.
1) A "Premises Licence" will be the most common and may authorise the sale by retail of alcohol, the provision of regulated entertainment and the sale of hot food between 11pm and 5am. Such licences will be held by pubs and nightclubs, restaurants, off licences, supermarkets, theatres, cinemas etc
2) A "Club Premises Certificate" will be used for the supply of alcohol to members and guests of the club and the provision of regulated entertainment within the club
3) A "Temporary Events Notice" will be used to permit the sale by retail of alcohol, the provision of regulated entertainment, the supply of hot food or drink between 11pm and 5am on a temporary basis. Important: this has a limited use and must be carefully checked.
