Ministers have agreed to cut regulations and exempt community venues – including community centres, schools, village halls and hospitals – from licensing restrictions.
New exemptions on live music and cuts in paperwork for cultural organisations hosting live music or theatre events, will also be introduced, says the Department for Culture, Media and Sport.
