Temporary Event Notices (TENs) can be used for relatively small-scale one-off or occasional events where you intend to sell or supply alcohol at any time, provide regulated entertainment at any time or provide hot food or drink between 11pm and 5am.

Apply for a Temporary Event Notice
We will send a copy of your TEN to the Police and to the Council’s Environmental Health Team as Responsible Authorities.
We won’t refuse a properly served Temporary Event Notice unless the Police or the Environmental Health Team object to it. They must object within 3 days of receipt of the Notice and may only do so if they have reason to believe that your event could:
If there is an objection, the licensing committee will hold a hearing, no later than 24 hours before the event. At the hearing, the committee may approve, add conditions to or reject the notice.
If you disagree with the licensing committee’s decision, you may appeal to your local magistrates’ court. You must do this within 21 days of the decision, and at least 5 working days before the date of your event.
If there is an objection to a late TEN the event will not be approved and there is no right of appeal.
