Apply for a temporary event notice

If you wish to sell or supply alcohol, provide regulated entertainment or late night refreshment but don't hold a premises licence or club premises certificate, you need to apply for temporary permission.

These are called Temporary Event Notices (TEN) and you can find out more at GOV.UK.

How to apply

Notices must be received at least 10 working days before the event. Each notice costs £21.

Please note a Temporary Event Notice does not allow you to occupy or use public spaces, access or thoroughfare without the other necessary permits also being in place.

If you are planning an outdoor event in Westminster, you will also need to apply for permission through our City promotions, Events and Filming team so they can ensure it is safe and successful.  

If you intend to trade from the public highway, you must also ensure this is covered by a temporary street trading licence.

To request a copy of a postal application form, please email the Licensing Service at: licensing@westminster.gov.uk stating the application form that is required.

For further information on these licence types, please view the fees list.
