If there's a race event on lets say the rivington estate (owned by united utilities) could we give free beer out? or would licensing etc be a problem?
I'll be amazed if you get permission at Rivington
how are you going to avoid the bridleways? go ape, horse riders, dog walkers and the local action group? 😉
ask the council about the licensing, they will have a team dedicated to event (and other) licensing issues
you should notify them anyway, fill a form in and all's well

I went to a cider festival like that. Prize every time 🙂
I think getting a tens notice would be fine (thats what everyone did for the royal wedding)...its just the land ownership that might be a problem?
