AN open air music venue has won a licence for a series of events this summer.

Julian Williams, owner of Lampeter House at Lampeter Velfrey, the venue for summertime open air music charity events, applied to the county licensing sub-committee on for a new premises licence.

In addition to the summer events, it is proposed to teach classical ballet in a restored barn, use another barn in connection with his greetings card publishing business and another for dance workshops.

The application sought a licence to supply alcohol and provide music, plays, films and dancing from 10am to 11pm from Monday to Sunday, with late night refreshment from 11pm to midnight and dance performances between 9am and 11pm.

Two neighbours expressed concern about disturbance and traffic increases.

The committee granted the premises licence subject to a limit of five outdoor events per annum after agreement with the police, and a withdrawal of a representation by the pollution control section.
