Sex Entertainment Venue
A sex entertainment venue is a premise at which any live performance or display of nudity is provided, which is of such a nature that it must reasonably be assumed to be provided solely or principally to stimulate any audience member sexually.
Lap dancing, strip shows and similar entertainment will fall under this definition. Therefore if this entertainment is to be provided regularly, your premises may require an additional licence to regulate sexual entertainment.
