Premises licences

We issue premises licences to places looking to sell alcohol, host entertainment or provide late-night refreshments across North Somerset.

This one licence replaces the former late hours catering, cinema, theatre, public entertainment and private club licences.

In terms of entertainment this covers anything which takes place in front of an audience, including plays, films, indoor sporting events (including boxing or wrestling which is held outdoors), live music, dance or recorded music.

The cost of a licence depends on the non domestic rateable value of the property, the number of people attending and the use of the venue, but premises can also apply for a Temporary Event Notice (TEN) for £21.

As long as there are less than 499 people attending and the police do not object for crime and disorder reasons, the TEN will be granted to cover the temporary sale of alcohol or the provision of entertainment or late-night refreshments.
