TENs are issued in order to facilitate the sale of alcohol, regulated entertainment or late night refreshments for occasional events.

Please check that your application is for the North Norfolk district before applying. Due to the costs involved, you will not be refunded if you apply in the wrong area.

How to apply

The application for a standard TEN must be made at least ten working days before the event (this does not include weekends or bank holidays). The application for a late TEN must be made no later than 5 working days before the event but no earlier than 9 working days before the event (not including weekends or bank holidays).

Working days do not include the day of the event or the day the notice is served to us.
