Temporary Events Notice (TEN)

You will need a Temporary Event Notice (TEN) if you want to carry out a licensable activity on unlicensed premises.

Licensable activity includes:

• • Selling alcohol
  • Serving alcohol to members of a private club
  • Providing entertainment, such as music, dancing or indoor sporting events
  • Serving hot food or drink between 11pm and 5am

The process of applying is formally known as serving a Temporary Event Notice.

You will also need a TEN if a particular licensable activity is not included in the terms of your existing licence, for example holding a wedding reception at a community centre.
