Agricultural land licence: to hold a show, fair or other event
A licence for any event taking place on agricultural land -
equestrian, market, rally or fair etc between the land owner
and event organiser. The event may take place on any
number of days and the agreement allows additional time for
setting out, packing up and cleaning
About this document
Any licence is outside of the statutory landlord and tenant framework. There is no interest granted in the land, only ‘permission’ to be there for a short time. It is important that the agreement reflects the name. You cannot just call an agreement a “licence” for it to be one. The effect of a licence is that:
• The tenant has no security
• The landlord has to give no notice (or the limited notice set out in the agreement
But there are some important matters you should research and consider. You should go in “with your eyes open” as to the damage to the surface of the land which can be inflicted by over use (such as jumping) and by wet weather. Since it is easier to obtain money from a licensee than to compel performance of covenants to spray or mend gates, we recommend that as many as possible of the maintenance tasks should be undertaken by the Licensor and covered in the global figure for the licence fee.
It is difficult to provide our usual full list of paragraph provisions as these documents differ so much from each other. Their essential common character is that they contain provisions for the protection of the land in ways not necessary in a lease of a shop or office building.
