HAGLEY COMMUNITY CENTRE
Rates & Legal Stuff

The Licensing Act 2003 has amalgamated six existing regimes and came into force on 24 November 2005. Our Community Centre will continue to operate as it has always done, in accordance with the Public Entertainment Licence. However, if people want to sell alcohol, even included in a ticket price, they will be required to apply to Bromsgrove District Council for a Temporary Event Notice at least ten days before the event. There is a fee of £21.00 for each Notice and details can be found on Bromsgrove District Council's website <just click this link.

Hagley Community Centre can only hold 12 such licences between 1 January and 31 December and an application form can be obtained from the goverment's culture website <just click this link.

Some Clubs and Associations are affiliated and enjoy hiring the centre at a lower rate. The Community Association view affiliated bodies as those which enrich and glue together the fabric of village life.
