Theatres

Now replaced with a Premises Licence under the Licensing Act 2003

"Performance of Plays" (theatre) is a licensable activity/ club activity for which a Premises Licence or Club Premises Certificate may be required (if performed in premises provided for the purpose of allowing the play and to entertain the public or a section of the public).   Please see our Premises licence page for further information and advice on applying for a Premises Licence.

If you are looking for a building licensed for public plays, or are thinking about applying, please see our on-line public register (follow the link, click on "public register" on the bottom right of the screen, then click to search for licences). Or contact us.

Anyone suffering nuisance due to noise, smells or similar because of a commercial premises should email our Community Protection team to see if they can help (email environmental.health@wychavon.gov.uk, phone 01386 565016).

Grant of a licence doesn't mean that we've given planning permission: consent under town and country planning law may still be required. Please contact Wychavon's Planning Services on 01386 565565.
