Temporary Event Notices

How do I apply for a TEN?

Temporary Event Notice Application Form

A TEN costs £21.00 and you must submit the notice at least 10 clear working days before the event - please see information for late TENs. 

The 10 days do not include the day the notice is received, the first day of the event, Bank Holidays or weekends.

Please ensure you read the TEN guidance notes before submitting the application as the Licensing Department will not refund the fee of invalid or rejected applications.

A TEN must include the following information: -

  • The licensable activities that are to be carried out.
  • The total length of the event (not over 168 hours).
  • The times during the event that the licensable activities are to be carried out.
  • The maximum number of people allowed on the premises at any one time (no more than 499) (please see definition of audience).
  • Whether any alcohol sales are to be made for consumption on or off the premises (or both). All sales of alcohol must be made by, or under the authority, of the person submitting the Notice.
  • Any other matters prescribed by the Secretary of State

There can only be one Temporary Event Notice per form. Multiple notices on the same form cannot be considered.

In the case of an event taking place on a field or parcel of land, the notice must detail the exact OS reference. Failure to do so may result in the rejection of the notice.

You can submit a TEN in the following ways:-
