This is the total number of valid temporary event notices (TENs) given to licensing authority.

TENs enable licensable activities to be carried out on a temporary basis without the need for a premises licence or any other authorisation. A TEN can be used to carry out licensable activities which are not authorised by an existing premises licence or club premises certificate, or for one-off events that are being organised on non-licensed premises. Unlike premises licence applications, for TENs there is no right to a hearing. The licensing authority may decide that an event cannot take place if it receives objections from the police or the local environmental health authority. TENs replaced the temporary permissions that were available before the introduction of the 2003 Act, such as occasional permissions, occasional licences, special hours’ certificates, or temporary public entertainment licences. There are also restrictions on the number of TENs an individual can be given in a year and the number of events that can be held under a TEN each year on individual premises. Personal licence holders may give up to 50 TENs in a calendar year, as long as the annual limit of 15 TENs in relation to a particular premises is not exceeded. The 2011 Act introduced late TENs in April 2012 which allow premises users to give their notices up to 5 days ahead of the start of the temporary event period rather than the usual 10 days for standard TENs.
