Every night out deserves a perfect pairing. Just like the right drink adds to a great entrée, world-class content pairs with the atmosphere in your bar.
WHY LICENCED ENTERTAINMENT MATTERS
Whether you’re a family-friendly venue or cater to a more adult crowd, showing films and TV can elevate the experience for your guests. For family-focused spaces, it’s a simple way to keep children entertained while parents relax. In pubs or bars, screening a classic film can spark conversation, create atmosphere, and keep customers engaged longer. Whatever your audience, the right content helps you create a more welcoming and memorable environment.
WHAT BARS NEED TO KNOW ABOUT COMPLIANCE
While there are many ways that content adds to the atmosphere of a bar, there’s only one way to protect yourself from copyright infringement – a public performance licence. Under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, permission is needed from the relevant copyright holders to show the television programmes and films in public places, read the UK Government guidance on Section 72 of the Copyright Act. However, we’re here to help. The MPLC Blanket Licence lets you show tens of thousands of titles without having to report which ones you’re watching.
GETTING COVERED WITH THE MPLC BLANKET LICENCE
We’ve been in business for almost 40 years and have established relationships with studios and producers all over the world like Disney, Paramount, and smaller, independent producers as well. That means our clients can get access to titles that range from horror to comedy to drama and everything in between. And showing content doesn’t have to be expensive either; our affordable MPLC Blanket Licence gives you the coverage you need without having to pay for what you don’t.
