Temporary Event Notice

Please note that the process and the form for giving Temporary Event Notices changed on 25 April 2012.

Temporary Event Notices may be given for carrying out licensable activities (i.e. sale and supply of alcohol, provision of regulated entertainment and the provision of late night refreshment) on a temporary basis - for example, a 'one off' or occasional event. Temporary Event Notices (TENs) can be applied for to permit the following temporary licensable activities whether they are within a premise or outside in open space:

Regulated entertainment - plays, films, recorded music, indoor sporting events, live music, boxing or wrestling entertainment, performance of dance
Late night refreshment - provision of hot food and/or hot drinks between 11pm and 5am
Sale by retail of alcohol
Supply of alcohol by or on behalf of a club to a member or to the order of a member.

There are certain limits, including:

The event must be for no more than 499 people (including staff and performers)
The event must be for no more than 168 consecutive hours
There must be at least 24 hours between two TENs given for the same premises by the same person or an associate
A Personal Licence holder may give no more than fifty standard or ten late TENs per calendar year
An individual who does not hold a personal licence may give no more than five standard or two late TENs per calendar year
No more than twelve TENs may be given for a particular premises in a calendar year
TENs may be given for a particular premises for no more than twenty one days in a calendar year (a day includes part of a day, so an event running from 6pm on one day until 6am the next is classed as a two day event)

There are now two types of TENs - a standard TEN and a late TEN.

Application Evaluation Process

If the TEN is given in writing by post, it must be in duplicate, and must be received by us at least ten working days before the event. If you apply online, you need only complete the form once. A fee of £21 is payable with the notice.

A TEN must be served on the licensing authority, environmental health and metropolitan police

Procedure - standard TEN

Provided that a completed application has been submitted and the limits in respect of temporary event notices have not been exceeded, the Licensing Authority will acknowledge your application by returning a receipted copy of your application form to you. If the limits have been exceeded the Licensing Authority will serve a counter notice and the event will not be permitted and any activity that did take place would not be authorised.

The Police or Environmental Health may object if they think the event will adversely affect any of the four licensing objectives:

Prevention of crime & disorder
Prevention of public nuisance
Public safety
Protection of children from harm

If this happens and the matter cannot be resolved through mediation, there will be a hearing to decide whether or not the event will proceed. It should be noted that if the TEN is for an event on a premises / area already covered by a premises licence or club certificate then conditions on that licence can be put on the TEN if it is felt appropriate.

Procedure - late TEN

A late TEN is a Temporary Event Notice that is given to the Licensing Authority, the Police and Environmental Health between 5 and 9 clear working days of the proposed event - Please be aware this does not include the day you submit the notice or the day of the event.

You are advised that by applying for a late TEN you run the risk that your event will not be able to take place, should the licensing authority receive an objection notice to a late TEN they are required to serve a counter notice no later than 24 hours before the event and the event will not then be permitted. Hearings are not permitted for late TENs.

The temporary event notice must be available for inspection at any given time during the event, and the premise user must be responsible for licensable activity taking place on the premises. Please ensure that all applicants read and familiarise themselves with the conditions on the application form.

If you apply by post you must also give notice to the Police Licensing Officer of Metropolitan Police Service and Enforcement Response team no later than ten working days before the event. If you apply online we will send a copy of your notice to the police and enforcement response for you. The address of the relevant police station and enforcement response is:


The Police Licensing Officer Wood Green Police Station Quicksilver Place Western Road London N22	Enforcement Response Team Unit 271-272 Lee Valley Technopark Ashley Road Tottenham London N17 9LN

Will Tacit Consent apply?

Yes. This means you will be able to act as though your notice is granted if you have not heard from us after ten working days.

Where tacit consent is applicable, it only applies for licences / registrations that are submitted electronically or the business can show proof of delivery from a post office or recognised courier.
