Temporary Event Notice

You can Apply for Temporary Event Notice online using the GOV.UK website. You will be able to pay online, and Lancashire Police and Environmental Health will automatically be notified.

A minimum of 10 working days prior notice is required to be given. A late application can be made no later than 5 working days before the event.

Please note that we may be required by law to disclose to the appropriate authorities, from time to time, further information relating to applications and licences for the purposes of law enforcement and the prevention of fraud.

Temporary Event Notice fees

There is a £21 fee for a Temporary Event Notice, payable when the application is submitted. You will need a debit or credit card to make this payment.

If you fail to provide any of the information or fail to pay the fee, the notice will be rejected. No refunds will be provided for rejected notices.

Open air events

If your Temporary Event Notice is for an event wholly or partly in the open air, please submit a scale plan clearly identifying the area to be used with your notice. The plan must clearly show the location and clearly show the area intended to be used.

You also need to notify the owner of the premises you are using that you are giving a Temporary Events Notice and obtain any necessary public liability insurance for your event.
