Plan around the calendar: in Jersey the body that grants licences meets only four times a year.

  1. 01

    You need a liquor licence. An individual, a limited company, a club or an association can apply; the Licensing Assembly decides, and it meets four times a year — so the deadlines decide your opening date.

  2. 02

    Licences expire every year on 24 December and are renewed between 5 October and 5 November; a late renewal, up to 14 December, costs £200 more. Fees depend on the type of licence.
