Check your premises licence
Before hosting an event at a licensed premises, always review the licence and its conditions to ensure it aligns with your planned activities and timings. Check for any provisions allowing extension of licensable hours for major sporting events. If your licence doesn’t cover your event, consider applying for a temporary event notice.
Screening of events
Under the Licensing Act exemptions, live television doesn’t require permission, but showing pre-recorded matches does. You can get permission on your premises licence, through applying for films or applying for a temporary event notice (TEN). For outdoor screenings, check your premises licence in case of any restrictions and get a TEN if needed. Also, make sure you have the necessary commercial subscriptions and a TV licence. More information on applying for a Temporary Event Notice can be found on our website here.
Alcohol If you are considering adding a temporary outdoor bar or extending alcohol sales to enable screening events outdoors or outside regular hours, check your premises licence for operating hours, conditions, and licensed areas. If not covered, you will need to apply for a TEN.
Temporary event notices (TENs)
TENs allow for licensing activities under the Licensing Act 2003, applicable to both licensed and unlicensed premises. Standard TEN applications must be submitted 10 working days before the event, while late TENs require submission 5 working days prior, with no appeal process available in the event of an objection.
The allowance limit for TENs for 2024 is as follows:
