🍷 Personal and Premises Licences in Derby

Selling Alcohol in Derby – What You Need

Planning to sell alcohol in Derby? Whether you're operating a pub, an off-licence, or an online alcohol store, you must secure two essential licences:

All alcohol-selling venues must appoint a Designated Premises Supervisor (DPS) who holds a valid Personal Licence.
