Q. What is a Temporary Event Notice?
A. The Licensing Act 2003 ("the Act") will introduce a light touch system for ad hoc, permitted temporary activities. A Temporary Event Notice (TEN) is given by an individual (a premises user) and authorises the premises user to conduct one or more licensable activities at premises for no more than 96 hours. TENs can be used to authorise relatively small-scale ad hoc events held in or on any premises involving less than 500 people at any one time, subject to certain restrictions.
Q. When should the Temporary Event Notice be given?
A. The premises user must, no later than 10 working days before the day on which the event is to start, not including the date the application was given nor the date of the event itself. The applicant must give the TEN (in duplicate) to the relevant Licensing Authority, together with the prescribed fee(£21). A copy of the Notice must also be given to the relevant Chief Officer of Police no later than 10 working days before the day on which the event is to start.
Q. What information should be included in the Temporary Event Notice?

Q. How many temporary events may I have?
A. You may have a maximum of 12 events per year and/or a maximum aggregate of 15 days per premises. Events which are held up to midnight count as one day. Events which are applied for and go beyond midnight count as two days of your fifteen day aggregate.
Q. Can I hold more events as I am a personal licence holder?
A. A personal licence holder may hold 50 events per year (but only a maximum of 12 per premises per year). Non personal licence holders may hold up to five temporary events per year.
