Like others said this site and others no longer mention planned unlicensed events; But its not uncommon for people to be able to hold an even in a bar or club without an entry price if the landlord or manager is sympathetic.
There is also a new license called a TENS license which permits a well-run event for only 21 quid – many crews are willing to try out if the cops and councils are also willing to accept the events and not cave in to pressure from nimbys or impose excessively onerous conditions.
Much of the party discussion on here nowasdays is about how to do an event without getting busted..

this has happened more than once. Cops (on or off duty) can be found in most places which sell food late at night..
incidentally in the old days when scanners worked if you got up to a high place overlooking city streets (like upstairs windows etc) and listened for cops calling “Code 04” (meal break) you’d quite often hear blues and twos shortly afterwards 😉
