Voluntary organisations holding certain types of public events should be aware of
changes covering these activities by the Licensing Act 2003.
Likely to come into
effect in March 2004, the Licensing Act contains a number of changes that will affect
voluntary organisations. For example, public entertainment licences and community
premises licences will be replaced by Premises licences. These will affect organisations
holding public entertainment, film shows, indoor sporting events, performances of
live or recorded music, dance performances and plays.
