Temporary event notices

Temporary event notices (TENs) must be received by both the Licensing Authority and the Police at least 10 clear working days before the event is to take place - 5 Clear working days for a Late TENs; see guidance notes. This does not include the day we receive it, the day of the event, weekends or Bank Holidays.

Any individual of 18 years or over can apply for a Temporary Event Notice (TEN), which authorises an event involving any form of licensable activity in a premises that is not already licensed for that activity.

A TEN can also be used to apply for extensions of hours or additional licensable activities in premises that are already licensed.

Licensable activities include the sale of alcohol, regulated entertainment and the provision of late night refreshment.

Fees are non-refundable in the event of cancellation, submission error, incorrect details within notice or if the notice is submitted out of time.

Terrorism events across Europe have raised concerns about security at events and large crowd gatherings. Although it is not possible to completely protect our public events, putting some interventions in place will hopefully make them less attractive to places to target.
