Temporary Event Notices (TENs) guidance notes

Note 3

A temporary event notice can be given for part of a building, such as a single room or a plot within a larger area of land.  You should provide a clear description of the area in which you propose to carry on licensable activities.  This is important as any licensable activities conducted outside the area of the premises protected by the authority of this temporary event notice would be unlawful and could lead to prosecution.

In addition, when holding the proposed event, the premises user would need to be able to restrict the number of people on the premises at any one time when licensable activities are taking place to less than 500.  If more than 499 are on the premises when licensable activities are being carried on, the licensable activities would be unlawful and the premises user would be liable to prosecution.  The maximum figure of 499 includes, for example, staff, organisers, stewards and performers.
