Sorry that "x" on the last post was not me blowing kisses but a typo.

For I am quite sure that Sheffield's licensing section will have similar small-print 'guidance' to that for carnivals produced by West Wilts - for when and what can take place on the places they hold entertainment permission for.

Well I am not sure they have. This is a major conurbation - one of the largest in the UK. Believe me they have many more problems concerning the Licensing Act than having to worry about "regulated entertainment".

So far they have shown a liberated attitude towards most things, refusing to prosecute when they could easily have done so. They have been very tolerant about garden fetes for example - one I certainly know about was told to go ahead when it would have been just as easy to tell them they would need a licence.
