Pubs and bars to have licensing hours extended over Queen’s Jubilee

The Home Secretary has approved the order to relax pub closing hours between Thursday 2 June and Saturday 4 June, with opening hours extended by two hours from 11pm to 1am.

The move will allow pubs and other licensed premises to celebrate the 70th year of the Queen’s reign across the four day bank holiday weekend.

Shops and off licences will not be able to sell alcohol for extended hours.
