Temporary Event Notice - A Guide
Saturday, May 24th, 2008Applying for a permanent Premises Licence can be a time-consuming and costly process to go through, especially if the event that you are planning is a one-off for a limited number of people – in this situation a Temporary Event Notice may be more suitable.
A Temporary Event Notice (TEN) is not a licence as such as it is not applied for. Rather, the ‘premises user’ (who must be over 18) fills out a standard form Notice and sends it to the Licensing Authority and the chief officer of police to notify them that the event will be taking place. The notice contains such information as who will be the person responsible for the event, when and where it will be taking place and what licensable activities will be provided.
