I am holding an outdoor event providing regulated entertainment. Would I require a licence and how would I apply for one?
As stated above, local authorities will be encouraged to obtain premises licences to cover public spaces, such as village greens or indeed a number of streets, on which many performances take place. No additional licence would then need to be obtained by anyone else carrying out licensable activities on such premises covered by such a licence, although the consent of the local authority holding the licence would be required and permission given to use the land. But if there is no pre-existing licence, unless your event falls into an exempt category, a premises licence or club premises certificate or temporary event notice is required to authorise the provision of regulated entertainment.
