Pubs to stay open longer over Coronation weekend
Pubs, clubs and bars will stay open into the early hours over the weekend of King Charles III's coronation.
Venues across England and Wales will serve customers for an extra two hours between Friday 5 May and Sunday 7 May. Home Secretary Suella Braverman will extend licensing hours from the normal 23:00 BST to 01:00 to allow people to "enjoy an extra pint or two".Section 172 of the Licensing Act 2003 allows Ms Braverman, the home secretary, to lay the order before Parliament on Monday to give permission for premises to stay open longer to mark occasions of exceptional significance.
Emma McClarkin, chief executive officer of the British Beer and Pub Association, said the move - which was also done for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee last year - was "a timely boost for the pub industry". "In the midst of an acutely challenging period, I am sure our pubs will look to mark this joyous occasion by hosting special events and parties as part of national celebrations.
