Usually, to provide late-night refreshments, regulated entertainment or sell alcohol, you need to apply for a licence.
However, some live music performance activities generally don't require a licence including:
- karaoke
- entertainment in places of worship
- Morris dancing (or similar)
- ‘incidental’ music that supplements another activity
- garden fetes, as long as it's not for private gain
- live radio broadcasts
- moving vehicles
If you have any questions about live music licences, contact the licensing team for advice.
