Pubs allowed to open late if Wales reach Euros semis
Merthyr Express
|June 26, 2025
PUBS have been granted extra time to stay open if Wales reach this year's Uefa Women's Euros semi-finals, MPs have agreed.
-
Bars will be allowed to sell alcohol until 1am, if either Wales or England - or both - take part in the European Championship semi-finals or final next month.
Policing minister Dame Diana Johnson said venues “stand to benefit” from the temporary later closing time, pushed back from the usual 11pm cut-off.
But if neither team manages to reach the final stages, pubs will have to stick to their ordinary licence conditions.
The semi-finals take place on July 22 and 23, with the final on July 27.
Dame Diana said this year's championship in Switzerland, which kicks off on July 2, was a “prestigious tournament”.
