Before you go

The times are each pub's own for Christmas 2026, as its website gave them when we read it (most recently on 28 October 2026). A pub we don't list may well be open: we just haven't seen its 2026 times yet. Christmas plans change, and on Christmas Day many places take bookings only, so check with them first. Get home safe: Drinkaware has facts and support. Run a pub? Tell us your Christmas times.
