Premises licence: Allerdale

When you need a premises licence, who can apply, how to apply, costs and fees.

Who can apply

You need to apply for a premises licence if you want to provide licensable activities at a venue or on your property.

If you have successfully applied for a Temporary Event Notice (TEN) then you do not need a premises licence.

Licensable activity includes:

  • selling alcohol
  • serving hot food or drink between 11pm and 5am

You will also need a licence if you provide the following types of entertainment:

  • theatrical performance
  • showing a film
  • indoor sporting event
  • boxing or wrestling (indoor or outdoor)
  • live or recorded music
  • facilities for making music
  • dancing facilities

You still need a licence even if the activities are for charity.

Check the entertainment licensing guidance on GOV.UK to see if you need a premises licence.
