The Home Office has announced extended pub hours for the upcoming European Championships, allowing pubs to operate until 1am if England or Wales reaches the semi-finals or finals. This decision, confirmed by Policing Minister Dame Diana Johnson, aims to foster community spirit and enhance fan experience as both nations compete in the tournament. With England aiming to defend their title and Wales making their Euros debut, the extended hours promise to keep fans engaged longer during crucial matches this summer, ensuring vibrant atmospheres in local establishments.
"Nothing quite brings people together like watching our national football teams. We want fans to enjoy every minute of these matches." - Dame Diana Johnson, Policing Minister.
"Our sector plays a huge part in boosting community spirit and extending licensing hours means people can gather for longer and host even more events that cheer on our squads." - Emma McClarkin, British Beer and Pub Association chief executive.
