Regulated Entertainment
Regulated entertainment includes:
- The showing of films
- The performance of plays
- The provision of live or recorded music
- Dancing
- The provisions of facilities for making music or dancing
- The provision of boxing or wrestling
- An indoor sporting event
- The provision of anything similar to music or dancing
Provided that this entertainment is in front of a live audience
consisting:
a. Wholly or partly of members of the public,
b. Exclusively for members of a club or their guests
c. If not for (a) or (b) above where the event is
with a view to making a profit whether the event is open to the
public or a private event that is intended to make a profit even if
the proceeds are donated to a charity. Where any charge is
purely top cover the cost of putting on an entertainment (e.g.
paying for a band at a wedding) then this is not with a view
to a profit.
The matter of whether "busking" is
licensable is one that still needs to be tested in court.
