Temporary Event Notices

Temporary Event Notices A Temporary Event Notice can be applied for occasional events where the maximum number of persons present at any one time is less than 500.  A Notice can last a maximum of 168 hours, and no premises may be used for more than 12 events per year. 

There are a number of other restrictions regarding Temporary Event Notices, details of which are attached to the application form guidance notes.

Premises users must serve at least one copy of the Temporary Event Notice to the Council, one to the Chief of Police and one to Blackpool Council's Environmental Protection Department. Each event costs £21.00.

Making an application

Applications may be made online or by submitting a paper copy of the form. Please visit the 'Forms' section on the right of this page to apply. Details of the criteria for applications and guidance notes to assist with filling in the form are in the publications section. Online applications must be paid for using a credit or debit card.

A temporary event notice may only be given by an individual and not, for example, by an organisation or club or business. The individual giving the notice is the proposed “premises user”. Within businesses, clubs or organisations, one individual will therefore need to be identified as the proposed premises user.
