Keeping or training animals for exhibition
You will need a licence to keep or train animals for exhibition. This is if the animals are:
- exhibited for educational or entertainment purposes, such as in schools or parties
- used in TV, film or theatre production
- exhibited in a circus
Licences are valid for a period of one to three years. All premises require an inspection from the Council before a licence is granted.
The full licensing conditions are set out in the government’s guidance notes for keeping or training animals for exhibition.
