Scotland - Queen's 90th birthday – Board extensions
2016
We are now able to update and summarise the current Licensing Board’s view across Scotland on extensions (granted or not) for the celebration weekend of 10 and 11 June – with grateful thanks to Adrian Howlett at Greene King/ Belhaven Pubs who coordinated the various responses.
In summary below is what each Board has decided. As you will be aware the majority of Scottish premises already trade to 1am on Friday and Saturday nights – but if premises do not trade until 1.00am already, the below may assist as to what may be required:

The Board decided to grant an extension for premises that operate 14 hours or less. All "On consumption" premises with the exception of casinos, who adhere to the maximum of 14 hours continuous trading in any 24 hour period, as per the Licensing Board's Statement of Licensing Policy, paragraph 20.6, may extend the licensed hours by 1 hour beyond the terminal hour on Friday 10th and Saturday 11th of June 2016. Premises licence holders who meet the terms of the policy need not make an extended hours application for these dates. There is no obligation placed on licence holders to take advantage of this extension should they not wish to do so.
