Leisure Sector Update: Summer Bank Holiday - what you need to know

Welcome to the Harrison Drury Leisure Sector Newsletter. Your regular update on legal developments across the leisure, hospitality and tourism sector. Our aim is to keep you informed, prepared and ahead of the curve with insights tailored to support you and your business.

The Summer Bank Holiday, which marks the last bank holiday before the Christmas period, can provide a welcome boost to trade before the darker nights and worse weather sets in (insert exasperated comment about the weather as you see fit!).

As mentioned in our previous update regarding the May bank holidays, feedback from the trade in many areas is that it is increasingly difficult to predict which nights will be busy over a bank holiday weekend, so it is a good idea to check the timings and the non-standard timings on your premises licence, and to submit a TEN if you would benefit from more flexibility. 

A standard TEN would need to be submitted no later than August 9^th and a late notice TEN would need to be submitted no later than August 16^th.

We have a team of solicitors across a range of legal disciplines all with significant experience in supporting businesses in the leisure sector. Meet our leisure sector team to see how our team can help support you. If you wish to subscribe to our leisure newsletter, please do so here.
