Licensable activities include:

You’ll also need a licence if you provide the following types of entertainment:
- Theatrical performance.
- Showing a film.
- Indoor sporting event.
- Boxing or wrestling (indoor or outdoor).
- Live music.
- Recorded music.
- Dance.
- Facilities for making music.

You will still need a licence if the activities are for charity.
