Carmarthenshire events appeal
Event Organisers in Carmarthenshire are urged to apply immediately to licence their events, or face disappointment over the summer period.
Carmarthenshire County Council, which issues Temporary Event Notices within the county, wants to encourage those wishing to hold a public event or extend their existing hours over the summer period to submit their Notices promptly.
Activities covered by the Temporary Event Notices (TEN) are: sales by retail of alcohol for consumption either off or on the premises or both; the supply of alcohol by or on behalf of a club to, or to the order of a member of a club; and the provision of regulated entertainment; the provision of late night refreshments (between 11pm and 5am). Events covered by a Temporary Events Notice (TEN) can last for up to 96 hours and must involve no more than 499 people.
Anyone wishing to apply for a TEN must submit two copies of the Notice to the council at least 10 clear working days (excluding weekends, the day of the events and the day of submission of the Notice) before the event is due to take place. It is however recommended that Notices are served 3 to 4 weeks prior to the event, in order for discussions to take place and Guidance to be provided.
A TEN costs £21 and should be paid for at the time of submission. Cheques should be made payable to Carmarthenshire County Council and sent to the Licensing Section, Carmarthenshire County Council, 3 Spilman Street, Carmarthen, SA31 1LE
A copy of each Notice must also be sent to the police at the following address:
The Divisional Licensing Officer, Dyfed Powys Police, Divisional Headquarters, Friars Park, Carmarthen SA31 3AN
Councillor Tom Theophilus, chairman of the council’s licensing committee said: “I would like to encourage all those holding public celebrations over the summer period to apply for their temporary events notices in good time. We would not like to see party organisers disappointed.”
