Licenses
Public Entertainment License
The Hall holds a Public Entertainment Licence (PEL) from Argyll & Bute Council. This allows for “any place where members of the public are admitted or may use any facilities for the purposes of entertainment or recreation.” This is not the same as an occasional license to sell alcohol, which must be applied for and purchased separately. A PEL is just a license required to hold any entertainment event, even if there is no charge to the public for that event.
This license is required for concerts, live music or playing of recorded music, video shows, theatrical performances, dancing or discotheques to name some but not all. Not all events need this license and types of events that do not need a PEL are noted below:
- Private functions e.g. birthday parties, weddings or anniversary parties
- Gala days
- Art exhibitions
- Coffee mornings
- Fetes
The cost to apply for a temporary PEL is £176, the hall only ask for a £40 contribution to use our PEL savings users £136. If more events are held throughout the year we will look at reducing this contribution.
Premises License
The Jura Hall holds a Premises License for the sale of alcohol at appropriate events for on-sales only (no off-sales). The Premises Manager is Katy Beasley.
Anyone working behind the bar must either have a Personal License or complete the statutory minimum of 2 hours training. The hall will provide this training when we have enough interest, please let Katy know if you are interested in being trained.
If you would like to run your own bar, the cost is £50 and you must have completed the training as noted above.
If you would like the hall to run a bar for you, the cost is £25 per hour you would like the bar open plus 1 hour to cover set up and close down. Hall bar prices will be kept as low as possible while adhering to alcohol pricing legislation. We are not looking to profit from the bar, only to cover costs along with providing the service.
