Are you really telling me that under the current legislation it would be necessary to get a licence for the tent on one occasion but not the other?

Over to you Richard P......Are YOU saying that a travelling circus would not need LA Premises License Entertainment permission but that a travelling ballet (in the very same tent) would?

Perhaps this question should be put to our MPs to ask DCMS - who are clearly saying in their latest draft guidance, that the circus is NOT exempt from the licensing requirement?

Perhaps the circus and ballet could leave the tent but travel around the country and set up in any of the country's churches, where no such permission for any kind of entertainment is to be required under the Act?
