Thinking of serving alcohol at your club or event? Here's what you need to know.

• You cannot sell alcohol without a license, which you can get from your local council.
• Many clubs and societies choose to have clubrooms where they serve alcohol. If you want your premises to have a licensed bar, we advise that you talk with a lawyer to assist with getting a full liquor license.
• If you’re having a one-off event, you can apply for a special license.
• Requirements are slightly different with each local authority, so contact your council to find out what you need to do.
