We are testing a new site
We are redesigning and improving the Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council website, this is why these new pages are different.
Alcohol licences
If you run a business selling or supplying alcohol, or providing entertainment in England and Wales, you need a licence from the local authority.
For alcohol sales a personal licence is also required.
The Council is responsible for administering, enforcing and reviewing all licences within Blackburn with Darwen.
