Licensing fees
Alcohol and entertainment (Licensing Act 2003)
The below fees apply to new/conversion premises/club licence/certificate. Fees set nationally by the government.
There are supplementary fees where the premises sell alcohol which may vary according to the application. There are also multipliers for very large premises that exclusively sell alcohol as their primary use.
No fee is chargeable for regulated entertainment such as live and recorded music plays and performance of dance at schools, community centres and village halls.
