Pubs In The UK To Get Extra Hours For Queens Jubilee
The Old Bull and Bush Hampstead
Pubs in the UK will be allowed to stay open until one hour past midnight for two days over the bank holiday, June the 1st and 2nd this year will see revellers indulging in a royal booze-up as the queen celebrates her Diamond Jubilee, 60 years of marriage.
A home office spokesman said “The Queens anniversary will be a national celebration and we want all communities up and down the country joining in the festivities.
Pub landlords however are calling for the extension to be stretched out over the entire four days of the Bank Holiday period, they have been told that they will have to apply individually to their local councils for the extra two days.
Chief executive for the British Beer and Pub Association, Brigid Simmonds said “Friday and Saturday will be great for getting the party started, but it’s a shame the extra hours will not apply to Sunday and Monday.”
The Jubilee celebrations will be all year through with the royals visiting all parts of the UK, this event along with the Olympics should help to dull the pain of what is expected to be a pretty tough year for most families as the financial cuts bite deeper.
