Late hours confirmed for Royal Wedding
The Home Office has laid out plans for on-trade outlets to be allowed extended opening hours and live entertainment on the weekend of the Royal Wedding.
Licence holders would normally have to apply to the local council for a Temporary Event Notice at a cost of £21 if they wish to extend their permitted opening hours and put on entertainment if not already allowed to do so.
The government is proposing to make a special order under the terms of the Licensing Act 2003 to extend opening hours on April 29 and 30 between 11pm and 1am.
Crime prevention minister James Brokenshire said: "The Royal Wedding is a time of national celebration and we want everyone to be able to participate.
"We recognise that many people may want to extend their festivities."
A consultation on the plans will run until January 26.
