Temporary Event Notices (TENs) are not a licence, but a system for self-authorisation of any or all of the licensable activities
A Temporary Events Notice (TEN) is required if you intend to carry on licensable activity on unlicensed premises or wish to operate outside the terms of your existing premises licence. TENs relate to temporary events with less than 500 attendees.
A Temporary Event Notice may be submitted to authorise licensable activities for a limited period of time. Licensable activities which may be authorised by a TEN are:
- the sale or supply of alcohol
- regulated entertainment
- late night refreshment (between 11pm and 5am)
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 read the Temporary Event Notice form carefully for detailed information on giving Temporary Event Notices before completing the online form.
