Find out how to submit a TEN, minimum notice periods, fees, licensable activities, large events and risk assessments.
To hold an occasional event in England or Wales that involves the sale of alcohol or the provision of entertainment, you must submit a Temporary Event Notice (TEN).
If the premises where the event is to be held is in areas governed by 2 or more local authorities, applications must be made to each.
Submit a Temporary Event Notice (TEN)
We advise you apply for your TEN at least 6 weeks before the event. Don't leave it to the last minute in case there is an objection or problem.
Minimum notice periods are provided below.
You can only have 2 of late TENs per calendar year as a non-personal licence holder and if the police or pollution control authority object, the TEN will be invalid.
The fee for a Temporary Event Notice is £21.
Payment must be made at the same time a TEN is submitted. Your submission will be invalid and cannot be processed further if you don't submit the fee with your TEN.
The Licensing Act 2003 makes no provision for refunds. This includes where a notice is withdrawn or submitted in error.

The above list is not exhaustive. Any queries about the most appropriate authorisation for your event, please contact licensing@elmbridge.gov.uk. Be aware that TENs for larger scale events are more likely to attract objections from the police or environmental health.
It is your responsibility to ensure you are running a safe event and that you have the knowledge, skills, abilities and competence to put on a safe event, and be prepared to get expertise and assistance as necessary to fulfil that duty.
A risk assessment will help you decide whether you have done everything you need to, see the Health and Safety Executive (HSE): Managing risk.
If you are an employer looking to hold a temporary event, see health and safety advice for businesses.
