Pub opening times to be extended by two hours over Coronation weekend

Pubs, clubs and bars will be allowed to stay open into the early hours over the Coronation weekend.

Venues across England and Wales are able to continue serving customers for an extra two hours between Friday May 5 and Sunday May 7 to celebrate the King’s Coronation.

Home Secretary Suella Braverman will extend licensing hours from the normal 11pm to 1am to allow people to “enjoy an extra pint or two”. The move was backed by a leading body in the hospitality sector as well as 77% of the public who took part in a month-long consultation.
