Government Relaxes Licensing Hours For The Queen’s Official 90th Birthday Celebrations

A recent Order approved by the House of Commons will permit licensed pubs and clubs, currently licensed up to 11pm, to remain open for the sale or supply of alcohol on their premises from 11pm to 1am the following morning on 10 and 11 June 2016, to celebrate the Queen’s 90th Birthday. This order also extends to premises which are licensed until 11pm for regulated entertainment until 1am. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

The extension of hours, however, does not apply to late night takeaways or other hot food establishments and off sales of alcohol whether from an off licence or off sales from a pub or club. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Any relevant conditions attached to a premises licence or club premises certificate will continue to apply. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
