Arrangements for Sale of Alcohol
at the Lauriston Halls

We have a Public Entertainment Licence from the City of Edinburgh Council but do not have a Premises Licence for the sale of alcohol.

If you want to sell alcohol at your event, you will need to apply for an Occasional Licence from the city council and the person responsible will need to have a Personal Bar Licence.

You can arrange for a company to provide a pop-up bar for your event. They will apply for the Occasional Licence on your behalf (you need to allow six weeks for this) and their bar manager will hold the Personal Licence.

Here are two providers of pop-up bars (though there are, of course, others):
