Saturday 11.00am and 23.30pm
Sunday 11.00am and 22.30pm.
For most Village Groups and Organisations and other individuals, it may be possible to use licensing
arrangements undertaken by East Harptree Theatre Committee. Use of this licence is entirely at the
discretion of the committee and will require the event to be ‘sponsored’ by an Approved Committee
Member (see appendix). Prior written approval must be obtained. To do so, please refer to the Booking
Clerk and return your booking form with full details of your event, contact details for all organisers & the
name of the Committee Member who will be "sponsoring" your event together with your booking fees or
deposit cheque. These should be received at least one calendar month before the event to allow the
Committee to approve your application.
Particular events, private individuals, other organisations and those wishing to sell alcohol outside the
hours stated above may be required to arrange a Temporary Event Notice (TENs) licence from BANES.
Please discuss with the booking clerk when arranging your date and refer to the Council website for full
information.
www.bathnes.gov.uk/services/business/licences/alcohol-and-entertainment/temporary-event-notices
This must be done at least 10 days prior to your event and BANES levy a charge.
It is essential that a copy of this TENs license is received by our booking clerk at least 7 days prior to
the event along with the balance for your booking. The contingency deposit arrangements will be
enforced for any event at which alcohol will be consumed. Please remember to forward this as a
separate cheque for £100 with your balance.
Please note that the Council will only permit 12 TENs licences for East Harptree Village Hall in any year.
If a license is essential to your event you should check when making your booking that this number has
not already been exceeded before committing to any other costs or bookings.
Please note that a TEN will still be required if you are selling tickets stating that alcohol is "free"
or by donation.
