A City of Edinburgh Council consultation is asking for views on the licensing of theatres in Edinburgh.
The Theatres Act 1968 will no longer be in force from January 2021 and the City of Edinburgh Council is considering whether to include theatres within its Public Entertainment Resolution. Should theatres not be included, premises would no longer be licensed. As a ‘festival city’, it is considered important to ensure continuity if the Council is considering maintaining theatres within a licensing system.
