Alcohol and entertainment licensing
Licences and licensable activities
We are responsible for the implementation of the Licensing Act 2003 in its area and this covers the licensing of:
- retail sales of alcohol (and supply of alcohol in clubs)
- regulated entertainment
- provision of late night refreshment
The Licensing Act creates four different types of authorisations that cover all licensable activities. To apply for (or to vary) one of these permissions or to find out further information view the relevant permission:
- Personal licences
- Premises licences (to vary the licence, to transfer the licence and vary the Designated Premises Supervisor)
- Club premises certificates (to vary the licence)
- Temporary Event Notice (TEN)
- Review Premises Licence/Club Premises Certificate (see Nuneaton and Bedworth Review Guidance)
In addition to the application forms, please see the following:
Premises licences or club premises certificates are required for the following:
- Pubs and nightclubs
- Restaurants serving alcohol
- Off licences
- Indoor sporting events
- Theatres and cinemas
- Venues providing regulated entertainment – live and recorded music
- Hotels, guest houses and other places serving alcohol
- Private members' clubs and social clubs
- Businesses offering hot food and drink between 11.00pm and 5.00am
A personal licence holder must authorise sales of alcohol, although this does not apply to the supply of alcohol by clubs to their members.
A Temporary Event Notice (TEN) is required if you wish to hold an event, involving less than 500 people, at which one or more licensable activities will take place that are not authorised by an existing premises licence or club premises certificate.
