EVENTS organisers have just a few days left to apply for licences needed to sell alcohol at festive season parties.
Anyone holding an event with alcohol sales, live music or the sale of late night refreshments needs a temporary event notice.
These are available from Hambleton District Council and must be applied for at least ten days before the event.
They cost £21 and authorises gatherings of under 500 people and a failure to get one could mean the event is cancelled.
But the last date to get one for Christmas Eve is December 9, and for New Year’s Eve the last date is December 14.
Forms and further advice can be obtained from the council's licensing team on 01609-767130, elecreg@hambleton.gov.uk or www.hambleton.gov.uk.
