There are two types of temporary event notice:

  • Standard TEN: You must apply at least 10 working days before the start of the event.
  • Late TEN: You must apply no later than 5 working days but no earlier than 9 working days before the event. 

'Working day' means any day except weekends, Christmas Day, Good Friday or bank holidays. When calculating clear working days you must exclude the date on which you give the notice and the date on which the event is due to begin. We will reject your notice if it is not calculated correctly.
