🍷 Personal and Premises Licences in Stevenage

Selling Alcohol in Stevenage – What You Must Know

Whether you're planning to open a pub in the town centre, operate a small off-licence in the suburbs, or launch an alcohol delivery service online, you’ll need two legal licences before you can sell alcohol in Stevenage:

  • A Personal Licence, issued by the local authority where you live

  • A Premises Licence, issued by Stevenage Borough Council if your business operates in Stevenage

The Personal Licence qualifies you (or your designated supervisor) to authorise the sale of alcohol. The Premises Licence applies to the physical location where alcohol is stored, sold, or dispatched.

Every premises that sells alcohol must have a Designated Premises Supervisor (DPS) — someone with a valid Personal Licence. This is true whether you’re trading from a shop, a bar, or your own home.

Before applying for a Personal Licence, you must first complete the Level 2 Award for Personal Licence Holders (APLH), which is a legal requirement.
