🍷 Personal and Premises Licences in Middlesbrough

Selling Alcohol in Middlesbrough – What You Need to Know

If you're planning to sell alcohol in Middlesbrough — whether you're opening an off-licence, a new bar, or running an online alcohol delivery service — you'll need two legal licences:

  • A Personal Licence, issued by your home council

  • A Premises Licence, issued by Middlesbrough Council for any premises based locally

A Personal Licence authorises an individual to approve alcohol sales, while a Premises Licence covers the physical location where sales or dispatches occur.

Every alcohol-selling premises must have a Designated Premises Supervisor (DPS) who holds a Personal Licence.
Before applying for your licence, you must complete the Level 2 Award for Personal Licence Holders (APLH) qualification.

  • 🏬 An off-licence or warehouse

❌ You don’t need one for:
