Punters at Wetherspoon's 844 UK pubs will be able to enjoy an extra hour drinking on Sunday, May 7, to celebrate the King's Coronation. It comes after the Home Secretary extended licensing hours from the normal 11pm to 1am, to allow people to “enjoy and extra pint or two”.
The exact time Wetherspoon pubs will close will vary by location, but it will be an hour later than their usual closing time. The extra hour of celebration will come the day after Charles is officially crowned King on Saturday, May 5.
Other chains, like Fullers and Green King, will also be extending the opening hours of some of their pubs, the Express reports. It follows a similar lengthening of licensing hours for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee last June.
