How do I dispose of any rubbish?
All rubbish should be removed from the venue, the black wheelie bin outside can be used.

Am I able to provide alcohol at my event?
It depends if you are planning to sell alcohol in which case a Temporary Event Notice will be required, including a nominated supervisor. You will need to apply to Maldon District Council and the details are available here.  We will require prior notification that you are applying and  a copy of the license once issued as we have a limited number per annum and need to keep a record of this. 

If the alcohol is not being sold at all, then you are able to hold your event without the need for a TENS.  You will still need to ensure that someone is responsible for the safe supply of alcohol ,for example, the Magistrates Court can issue fines for anyone knowingly allowing the consumption of alcohol on the premises by children.Additionally we would expect the hirer to ensure that no unacceptable drunken behaviour is allowed.

Can I play music and/or have a band at my event?
Yes we are fully licensed by PPL PRS to enable the playback of recorded and live music.
