Wetherspoons’ New Year opening plans
Typically, they open early for breakfast and close late so that you can enjoy a nightcap with your friends.
However, the chain have announced that they will be adjusting their hours over the New Year.
And while they offered reduced hours over Christmas, many branches are extending their opening times on December 31, 2024 and January 1, 2025.
Most Wetherspoon pubs will have extended hours on these dates, typically opening from 8am to 1am on both New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.
However, some locations may have slightly different closing times due to local licensing regulations.
It is always advisable to check with your local Wetherspoon pub for exact hours.
