Easter is fast approaching - meaning Northern Ireland is to have its first Easter weekend with reformed liquor licensing laws in place. It means that, in 2022, bars can keep their normal hours.
Licensed premises may sell alcohol from 11:30am to 11pm, and those with a late licence may sell alcohol until 1am, or with further additional permitted hours until 2am. Off-licences may sell alcohol 8am to 11pm from Holy Thursday to Easter Saturday.
Easter Sunday will be usual Sunday licensing hours. Licensed premises may sell alcohol 12.30am to 11pm, those with a late licence may sell alcohol until 1am, or with further additional permitted hours until 2am. Off-licences may sell alcohol 10am to 10pm.
