Licensing Act 2003

Early engagement with HBC and Sussex Police will help establish if your event requires a Premises Licence or a Temporary Event Notice (TEN) under the Licensing Act 2003.

Licensable activities include:

• the provision of regulated entertainment - plays, films, live music, recorded music, dancing
• the provision of late night refreshment (the sale of hot food or drink between 11pm and 5am)
• the sale/supply of alcohol

If your event involves activities that require a licence, and your premises is not already licensed, temporary event notice (TEN) or Premises Licence may be required.
