The system for temporary events involves an event organiser (the "premises user") giving a temporary event notice to the licensing authority and copying this to the police.
TENs can be used to authorise small-scale events held at premises involving no more than 499 people at any one time.
To serve a TEN you must, no later than 10 working days before the day on which the event is due to start, give duplicate copies of the notice to the Licensing Section, together with the fee of £21.
You must also give a copy of the notice to the Chief Officer of Police at Chester, no later than 10 working days before the day on which the event is to start.
Anyone aged 18 or over can give a maximum of five TENs per year. Personal licence holders can give a maximum of fifty TENs per year. You are advised to allow 28 days in order that you can plan your event safely.
TENs are subject to other limits, as set out below;
Provided that the criteria set out above are met, only the police may intervene to prevent an event covered by a TEN taking place or agree a modification of the arrangements for such an event and then only on crime prevention grounds.
