Apply for an alcohol and entertainment club licence
A Club Premises Certificate is very similar to a Premises Licence and the procedure and cost of getting one is basically the same. Clubs can still choose to apply for an ordinary Premises Licence if they prefer. Clubs qualifying for a Club Premises Certificate include:
- Working men's clubs
- Political clubs
- Bowls clubs

The club must be run on a non-profit basis, have at least 20 members and a short version of a Club Premises Certificate must be displayed on the premises.
