Club premises certificate

You may need to apply for a club premises certificate if you’re a social, sporting or political members club.

You need a certificate to:

• Sell or supply alcohol to members or guests
• Provide regulated entertainment, like musical performances or film screenings to members or guests

If your club holds a club premises certificate:

• It may be able to supply alcohol to members and sell it to guests without the need for any member or employee to hold a personal licence – depending on what the certificate allows
• It doesn’t need to specify a Designated Premises Supervisor
• Police and licensing officers have more limited rights of entry because the premises are private
