About alcohol and entertainment licences

Overview

You need a licence to sell or supply alcohol.

You need a licence if you are raising funds for a charity and give away free alcohol but charge for a ticket or admission.

If you wish to sell or supply alcohol to members of the public, guests or members of a club, you must be authorised under the Licensing Act 2003.

It is also a sale of alcohol, if the alcohol is included within any entry fee or ticket or offered as a complimentary drink when purchasing any service or product.

You will need to apply for either a premises licence, a club premises certificate or a temporary event notice. You may also require a personal licence.
