Alcohol would only be sold at any of the adult events from either a marquee on the grass area/playground or from a bar area set up in one of the rooms internally.
Alcohol will be locked up until it is used at the events, as per the details shown in the plans.
In order to prevent any crime and disorder as much as is possible, we would have staff/volunteers on site to help run the event and ensure people remained in the designated area for that particular event.
CCTV cameras will be in place which overlook the majority of the site and entrances/exits which could be accessed if necessary during the event and all footage is stored for 30 days providing plenty of time to review if necessary. This will be used should a complaint come in.
A Challenge 25 Policy will be in place and Posters will be on display in accordance with this
For any bars being run under the Premises Licence, those trying to purchase alcohol will only be served by adult staff and customers will only be challenged on their age if they are deemed to look under the age of 25. If this is the case, they will only be served if they can prove they are over 18 with photographic ID. Any instance of this would be logged in the hard backed Incident/Refusals book.
Anyone trying to purchase alcohol under the age of 18 or cannot prove they are over 18, will be refused and a note of the details taken down as well as anyone trying to buy alcohol on behalf of someone under the age of 18 this will also be refused and logged in the Incident/Refusals book kept behind the bar.

Ensure many of the events we would hold would be ticket only events so we can monitor numbers and prevent overcrowding.
Make sure that any staff/volunteers involved in activities with children would be DBS checked or accompanied by a DBS checked person.
Where necessary trained staff/volunteers will be the lead for specific roles, and if needed, training provided for others in order to ensure good understanding and ability to run the events.
Should a specialised skill be required, then these people will be employed for that area of the event, with an event manager co-ordinating the whole process.
Staff/volunteers would be on hand to help run the event and ensure it doesn't cause any public nuisance.
Events will be kept to social hours (finishing at 23:00h) and noise levels in compliance with the license.
