Clubs and community groups

You need to be covered by a valid TV Licence if you watch or record television programmes as they're being shown on TV at a club or community group. This includes the use of devices such as a TV, computer, mobile phone, games console, digital box or DVD/VHS recorder.

Usually you only need one TV Licence to cover a club or community group. However, in some cases certain areas may need a separate TV Licence. Please check below to ensure you’re correctly licensed.

It costs £142.50 for colour and £48.00 for a black and white TV Licence.
