Readers may remember our enews about the Licensing Act 2003 (UEFA European Football Championship Licensing Hours) Order 2024, which relaxes the Licensing Act 2003 for matches involving England and/or Scotland, if they reach the semi-finals and/or the final of UEFA Euro 2024.
It’s important to note that this legislation only applies to premises already authorised for alcohol sales until at least 23:00, so if for example your licence only permits the sale of alcohol until 22:30 you will not benefit and will instead have to issue a Temporary Events Notice. This is particularly relevant for the final, which takes place on a Sunday, a day when traditionally many pubs’ terminal hour for alcohol sales is earlier than 11pm. Indeed, the standard hours for Sunday in some London boroughs are 22:30.
The crucial thing is to check your licence and apply for a Temporary Events Notice where required.
