Do I need a Licence?
If you intend to keep or train animals for public performance, (e.g. circus or films), the animal needs to be licensed by us. Licences are issued under the The Performing Animals (Regulation) Act 1925 and are renewable annually
The premises and accommodation must satisfy basic standards for the health, welfare and safety of the animals that you intend to keep. We will arrange a veterinary surgeon's inspection to ensure that the accommodation is suitable.
The licence will be issued subject to compliance with licence conditions and payment of the licence fee.
How do I apply?
You must complete and return the application form and send it to us, together with a copy of your Public Liability Insurance Policy and the current fee of £103.00 to the Town Hall, The Parade, Epsom, KT18 5BY. You will also be required to pay the costs incurred by the veterinary surgeon's inspection and will be invoiced for this separately.
