Overview

You’ll need a Temporary Event Notice (TEN) if:

• You want to hold one-off event that will involve a licensable activity, but the location at which the event will take place does not have a Premises Licence or Club Premises Certificate under the Licensing Act 2003.
• The location where the event will take place has a Premises Licence or Club Premises Certificate, but the timings or activities are outside the terms of that licence.

Where it is proposed to use premises for one or more licensable activities during a period not exceeding168, an individual may give to the relevant licensing authority notice of that proposal a “temporary event notice”.

A temporary event notice must contain;

• the licensable activities,
• the period (not exceeding168 hours) during which it is proposed to use the premises for those activities (“the event period”),
• the times during the event period when the premises user proposes that those licensable activities shall take place,
• the maximum number of persons (being a number less than 500) which the premises user proposes should, during those times, be allowed on the premises at the same time,
• where the relevant licensable activities include the supply of alcohol, whether supplies are proposed to be for consumption on the premises or off the premises, or both, and
• the details of the personal licence
• where the relevant licensable activities include the supply of alcohol, the notice must make it a condition of using the premises for such supplies that all such supplies are made by or under the authority of the premises user.
• prescribed fee

“premises user”, in relation to a temporary event notice, is the individual who gave the notice. An individual may not give a temporary event notice unless he is aged 18 or over.
