We are responsible for licensing the
sale and supply of alcohol and various public
entertainment activities across North Somerset.
This includes
gambling
licences and permits for example,
gaming machine permits and
lottery licences.
We have taken over the responsibility for alcohol from the
Magistrates under the
Licensing
Act 2003 which came into force in November 2005.
This legislation merged the six old licensing regimes into one
system meaning only a single
Premises Licence is needed to supply
alcohol, entertainment, late night refreshments or any
combination of these activities.
However, those wishing to sell alcohol will also require a
Personal Licence to do so.
In terms of entertainment this covers live and recorded music,
theatre, film and indoor sporting events.
For more information contact our
Licensing team.
We are also responsible for providing various other
entertainment licences including
chaperone licences and
child stage performance licences.

Education Welfare Service. |
