Not sure if anyone can help …I am a fully mobile practitioner attending a temporary event in Saffron Walden, Essex. During this event, I will only be operating a pop-up presence for a few hours and will not be carrying out any massage, special treatments, or related rituals.
I understand that under the Essex Act, Massage and Special Treatment (MST) licensing applies to premises where such treatments are performed. As no treatments will be conducted during this event, I would like clarification on whether an MST licence is required in this instance.
Additionally, if treatments were to be carried out at a temporary event in the future, could you please confirm whether the responsibility for obtaining an MST licence would lie with myself as a mobile practitioner, or with the event venue hosting the activity.
