Does any one know any more about this? I was forwarded an email from the EFDSS forum as follows:

"Last night (Monday 16 December) a licensing officer from West Dorset
Council (tel 01305 252214), prevented a mummers play at two pubs in Cerne Abbas. Claiming these to consist of more than two performers in a public entertainment and illegal without a Public Entetainment Licence.
This performance was advertised in the local paper, the Dorset Evening Echo.
