Consultation description

The Licensing Act 2003 brought together 9 separate outdated licensing related regimes, and created instead a single Act that controlled alcohol supply and sale, late night refreshment, and 鈥渞egulated entertainment鈥�.聽 In tidying up the old licensing regimes new problems were created for many wishing to host entertainment events.

The government is therefore proposing a reform of activities currently classed as 鈥渞egulated entertainment鈥� in Schedule One of the 2003 Act.聽 The consultation seeks views on the removal in certain circumstances of the requirement for a licence in England and Wales to host a performance of a play, an exhibition of a film, an indoor sporting event, a performance of live music, any playing of recorded music, or a performance of dance.
