How do I obtain a licence to provide entertainment?

Unless temporary entertainment is being provided or the entertainment or location is exempt under the Licensing Act, it will be necessary to apply for a premises licence or club premises certificate from the relevant licensing authority.

In order to apply for a premises licence, or club premises certificate an application must be completed and be accompanied by, an operating schedule, a plan of the premises and, if the application is for a premises licence which includes authorisation for the supply of alcohol, a form of consent given by the individual whom the applicant wishes to have specified in the premises licence as the premises supervisor. The applicant will be required to advertise his application and notify it to specified, expert bodies. There will also be a fee.
