🌎⚽ World Cup 2026 – Local Pub Opening Hours πŸ‘‡

A number of licensed premises have been granted temporary extensions to support safe viewing of World Cup fixtures.

These extensions vary by venue. Opening hours and match screenings will also vary, so please check directly with your local pub to confirm:
πŸ‘‰ Which games they’re showing
πŸ‘‰ How late they’ll be open
πŸ‘‰ Whether you need to book ahead

We’re working closely with Norfolk Police and local venues to help keep match nights safe and enjoyable for everyone. You can support this by:
βœ… Planning your journey home before you head out
βœ… Drinking responsibly and pacing yourself through the evening
βœ… Respecting pub staff β€” they’re there to keep the night running smoothly
βœ… Looking out for your friends, especially towards closing time
βœ… Reporting any concerns to pub staff or police if something doesn’t feel right

Let’s enjoy the football, support our local pubs, and help keep our community safe throughout the tournament. 🌎⚽
