A NUMBER of pubs in Kidderminster will be opening their doors to welcome fans for the World Cup clash between Mexico and England.
It comes as the Government gave venues special permission to stay open until 5am on Monday so the last-16 match can be screened.
Thomas Tuchel’s team will kick off at 1am and, with the potential for extra time and penalties, the game could go on longer than a regular match.
This change removes the need for individual premises in England and Wales to apply for extended hours, delivering a welcome boost to the hospitality sector.
The Home Secretary has the legislative power to extend licensing hours on occasions of ‘exceptional international, national or local significance’. This follows extensions already granted for England’s knock-out games that kicked off up until 22.00.
