Posted By Rachael Palmer Have a chat with your local Environmental Health / Licensing Team at the District Council. You may need to apply for a temporary event notice if you are supplying alcohol. They quite often provide guidance on how to run event safely, what to look for etc. Useful document would be 'The event safety guide' - A guide to health, safety and welfare at music and similar events.
