Changes approved for alcohol and event licences

Changes to alcohol and event licences came into force this week, following Tynwald approval earlier this year.

Government says the biggest change to the regulations was the introduction of an annual rolling alcohol licence, instead of a three year one.

This means as long as businesses continue to operate within conditions and maintain high standards, they can keep their licence and pay the annual fee. 

Existing licences are still valid until June 2023 - more information on changes can be found here.
