🍷 Personal and Premises Licences in Luton

Selling Alcohol in Luton – A Legal Overview

If you’re planning to sell alcohol in Luton — whether from an off-licence, a licensed restaurant, or an online shop — you must obtain two licences before trading:

A Personal Licence issued by the council where you live
A Premises Licence issued by Luton Borough Council for any address in Luton where alcohol is sold or dispatched

Every alcohol-selling venue must appoint a Designated Premises Supervisor (DPS) who holds a valid Personal Licence.
Before you apply, you must complete the Level 2 Award for Personal Licence Holders (APLH).
