Leisure Sector Update: May Bank Holidays and TEN notices

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 usual two May bank holidays, which can provide a welcome boost to trade, are fast approaching.  As we mentioned in our previous update, feedback from the trade in many areas is that it is increasingly difficult to predict which nights will be busiest 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.

First comes the Early May bank holiday on Monday 6^th May. For this, a standard TEN would need to be submitted by no later than 19^th April, and a late notice TEN no later than 26^th April.

Then comes the Spring bank holiday on Monday 27^th May. A standard TEN would need to be submitted by no later than 10^th May, and a late notice TEN no later than 17^th May.
