We’ve come to that time of year again where we all try and figure how who can drink were and at what time. So, until the eejits on the hill can sort it out and let us behave like adults, here’s the skinny:

  • Holy Thursday, 29 March 2018 – Licensed premises may sell alcohol 11:30 – 23:00, those with a ‘late licence’ may sell alcohol until midnight. Off-licences may sell alcohol 08:00-23:00.
  • Good Friday, 30 March 2018 – Licensed premises may sell only alcohol 17:00 – 23:00, even if they hold a late licence. Off-licences may sell alcohol 08:00-23:00.
  • Easter Saturday, 31 March 2018 – Licensed premises may sell alcohol 11:30 – 23:00, those with a late licence may sell alcohol until midnight. Off-licences may sell alcohol 08:00-23:00.
  • Easter Sunday, 1 April 2018 – Licensed premises may only sell alcohol 12:30 – 22:00, even if they hold a late licence. Off-licences are not allowed to sell alcohol at all.
  • Easter Monday and Tuesday, 2-3 April 2018 – As usual. Licensed premises may sell alcohol 11:30 – 23:00, and those with a late licence may sell alcohol until 01:00. Off-licences may sell alcohol 08:00-23:00.
