Licensing of Regulated Entertainment
A premises licence is necessary for the provision of regulated entertainment (with limited exemptions). A premises licence authorises such events as a play, film, indoor sporting event, boxing/wrestling, live music, recorded music, performance of dance or entertainment of a similar kind provided for members of the public for financial gain whether by the premises owner/occupier or hired for such use by others. Individual or outdoor events involving regulated entertainment will need licensing by way of either a Temporary Event Notices (see below) or date specific premises licences. We have considerable expertise in this field.
