Describe the steps you intend to take to promote the four licensing objectives:

 

a)    General – all four licensing objectives (b, c, d, e) (please read guidance note 9)

The festival is well planned and responsibly run by an experienced management team. All volunteer staff are briefed before starting work about their responsibilities concerning alcohol sales with specific emphasis on not selling to anyone who might be under the age of 18 or to anyone who appears to be drunk or otherwise intoxicated. All staff on the bars work under the supervision of at least one bar manager who has received additional training.

Our volunteer stewarding team are experienced with previous York Beer and Cider Festivals and other CAMRA beer festivals around the country. The team always includes at least one SIA qualified member. Stewards at the Entrance ensure age checks are conducted on anyone who appears to potentially be under 25. Age verified wristbands are issued to anyone who has had their age confirmed with suitable ID (passport, driving licence or appropriate proof of age card) to aid bar staff.

Our site team are always on hand to monitor the site to ensure it remains safe for all customers and staff.

 

b)    The prevention of crime and disorder

Our well trained volunteer stewards cover all areas of the festival. They pay specific attention to the behaviour of customers and will step in to diffuse issues if they develop. If anyone appears drunk they will ensure they do not obtain any more alcohol, either by removing them from the site or monitoring them until they leave, whichever is more appropriate in the circumstances. They also ensure drugs are not used on the premises.

The stewards are also a visible presence to deter crime and as a point of contact for the public.

Our bar staff are instructed not to sell alcohol to intoxicated people and to call for assistance of the stewards if there are any problems.

The festival organiser, bar managers, stewards, site team and other members of the organising team are always in contact via the radio so can call for help if required and can alert each other to any problems as they occur.

We do not tolerate anti social behaviour at our festival or in the queue to get in.

 

c)    Public safety

We plan the festival carefully to minimise risk to the public. We conduct risk assessments ahead of the festival and conduct regular health and safety checks to ensure the site remains safe to the public and staff at all times.

We calculate the capacity of the site based on space, exits and toilets in advance and monitor attendance / departure using clickers at the Entrance. When the festival gets to within 50 of the planned capacity the chief steward is contacted to check the crowding levels before confirming whether additional people can be admitted. When capacity is reached or the chief steward decides that overcrowding could occur a one-in-one out procedure is introduced.

The fire risks are reduced by ensuring that rubbish is not allowed to accumulate, and that the (outdoor) skip is situated away from the buildings.

When the event is open to the public there is a first aid point managed by qualified first aiders, who shall be on site at all times that members of the public are at the festival.

 

d)    The prevention of public nuisance

We do not use amplified music. Background music may be provided inside the buildings and we ensure that the volume is kept to a reasonable level to avoid a nuisance to local residents. As a beer and cider festival our bar staff need to be able to advise customers about the beers and ciders on offer so do not want music too loud.

During the festival the stewards monitor the queue (when there is one) and ensure people waiting to get into the festival do not cause a nuisance. They will also prevent anyone leaving with an open container of alcohol.

During the festival we do regular litter picks to ensure the site remains clean and tidy. We also provide rubbish bins and bin bags for customers to put rubbish in. After the festival is over we do a very thorough litter pick to make sure we do not leave any litter behind.

 

 

e)    The protection of children from harm

We allow children who are accompanied by an adult into the festival until 8pm. The conditions of child entry are advertised on our festival website, including that under 18s are not allowed near the bars or tombola. During the day, the festival has an atmosphere suitable for families, with a beer garden with some marquees. There is seating and tables outdoor and in the marquees and Community hall (when not used for other activities). There is also some seating in the Church. In the evening the festival tends to get busier and people move inside where it is warmer, changing the atmosphere so it is less appropriate for children.

The age of any person who appears to be under 25 will be checked on entry. The forms of proof of age that are acceptable to us are a UK passport, a UK photocard driving licence or PASS/Prove-It proof of age showing the person’s date of birth. If, after the checks have been carried out, the entrance staff member or steward is satisfied that the young-looking person is over 18 then they will be issued with a wristband. This is to be fitted closely (so that they can’t take it off and lend it to their underage friends) by the entrance staff member or steward. The purpose of the wristband is to show glasses staff, bar managers or the tombola manager that the person’s age has already been checked, and that they should not be refused service on the grounds of age.

If the person is under 18, or appears under 18 and cannot prove their age, and is not accompanied by an adult then they are not permitted entry.

Notes for Guidance

 

1.     Describe the premises, for example the type of premises, its general situation and layout and any other information which could be relevant to the licensing objectives.

2.     In terms of specific regulated entertainments please note that:

 

·         Plays: no licence is required for performances between 08:00 and 23.00 on any day, provided that the audience does not exceed 500.

 

·         Films: no licence is required for ‘not-for-profit’ film exhibition held in community premises  between 08.00 and 23.00 on any day provided that the audience does not exceed 500 and the organiser (a) gets consent to the screening from a person who is responsible for the premises; and (b) ensures that each such screening abides by age classification ratings.

o    a performance of amplified live music between 08.00 and 23.00 on any day, in a church hall, village hall, community hall, or other similar community premises, that is not licensed by a premises licence to sell alcohol, provided that (a) the audience does not exceed 500, and (b) the organiser gets consent for the performance from a person who is responsible for the premises.

o    a performance of amplified live music between 08.00 and 23.00 on any day, at the non-residential premises of (i) a local authority, or (ii) a school, or (iii) a hospital, provided that (a) the audience does not exceed 500, and (b) the organiser gets consent for the performance on the relevant premises from: (i) the local authority concerned, or (ii) the school or (iii) the health care provider for the hospital.

 

·         Recorded Music: no licence permission is required for:

o    any playing of recorded music between 08.00 and 23.00 on any day, in a church hall, village hall, community hall, or other similar community premises, that is not licensed by a premises licence to sell alcohol, provided that (a) the audience does not exceed 500, and (b) the organiser gets consent for the performance from a person who is responsible for the premises.

o    any playing of recorded music between 08.00 and 23.00 on any day, at the non-residential premises of (i) a local authority, or (ii) a school, or (iii) a hospital, provided that (a) the audience does not exceed 500, and (b) the organiser gets consent for the performance on the relevant premises from: (i) the local authority concerned, or (ii) the school proprietor or (iii) the health care provider for the hospital.

·         Cross activity exemptions: no licence is required between 08.00 and 23.00 on any day, with no limit on audience size for:  

o    any entertainment taking place on the premises of the local authority where the entertainment is provided by or on behalf of the local authority;

o    any entertainment taking place on the hospital premises of the health care provider where the entertainment is provided by or on behalf of the health care provider;

o    any entertainment taking place on the premises of the school where the entertainment is provided by or on behalf of the school proprietor; and

o    any entertainment (excluding films and a boxing or wrestling entertainment) taking place at a travelling circus, provided that (a) it takes place within a moveable structure that accommodates the audience, and (b) that the travelling circus has not been located on the same site for more than 28 consecutive days.

 

3.     Where taking place in a building or other structure please tick as appropriate (indoors may include a tent).

 

4.     For example the type of activity to be authorised, if not already stated, and give relevant further details, for example (but not exclusively) whether or not music will be amplified or unamplified.

15.  Entitlement to work/immigration status for individual applicants and applications from partnerships which are not limited liability partnerships:

 

A licence may not be held by an individual or an individual in a partnership who is resident in the UK who:

·         does not have the right to live and work in the UK; or

·         is subject to a condition preventing him or her from doing work relating to the carrying on of a licensable activity.

 

Any premises licence issued in respect of an application made on or after 6 April 2017 will become invalid if the holder ceases to be entitled to work in the UK.

Applicants must demonstrate that they have an entitlement to work in the UK and are not subject to a condition preventing them from doing work relating to the carrying on of a licensable activity.

 

They do this in one of two ways:

 

1)    by providing with this application copies or scanned copies of the documents which an applicant has provided, to demonstrate their entitlement to work in the UK (which do not need to be certified) as per information published on gov.uk and in guidance.

2)    by providing their ‘share code’ to enable the licensing authority to carry out a check using the Home Office online right to work checking service (see below).

 

Home Office online right to work checking service

 

As an alternative to providing a copy of original documents, sted above, applicants may demonstrate their right to work by allowing the licensing authority to carry out a check with the Home Office online right to work checking service.

 

To demonstrate their right to work via the Home Office online right to work checking service, applicants should include in this application their share code (provided to them upon accessing the service at https://www.gov.uk/prove-right-to-work) which, along with the applicant’s date of birth, will allow the licensing authority to carry out the check.

 

In order to establish the applicant’s right to work, the check will need to indicate that the applicant is allowed to work in the United Kingdom and is not subject to a condition preventing them from doing work relating to the carrying on of a licensable activity.

 

An online check will not be possible in all circumstances because not all applicants will have an immigration status that can be shared digitally.  The Home Office online right to work checking service sets out what information and/or documentation applicants will need in order to access the service.  Applicants who are unable to obtain a chare code from the service should submit copy documents as set out above.

 

Your right to work will be checked as part of your licensing application and this could involve us checking your immigration status with the Home Office. We may otherwise share information with the Home Office. We may otherwise share information with the Home Office.  Your licence application will not be determined until you have complied with this guidance.
