| Entertainment Licences | |
|
Entertainment licences are a UK-wide issue (Licensing Act
2003). Other jurisdictions may have similar requirements, possibly at a local level. The act requires that any "regulated entertainment" - in our case, any stage show - (either open to the public or held in a private club) either requires a "premises licence" or a "temporary event licence". So either the building you are using for your play needs to be licensed for entertainment or you need a one-off licence for the event. This licence comes from a local licensing authority. They give permission to stage "entertainment" - that is not the same as permission to stage a particular show! Permission to stage a particular show comes from the rights holder for that show. (So you need both a local authority licence to stage anything and the rights holder's permission to stage the specific show.) |
