The Lionesses have done the nation proud and reached the final of the Women's Football World Cup. England will take on Spain in Sydney Australia on Sunday 20 August with an 11 am kick-off time in the UK.

Cornwall Council say they have been asked by Michael Gove MPSecretary of State for Levelling up, Housing and Communities Minister for Intergovernmental Relations, to support local pubs and venues to hold screenings of the final this Sunday.

The council said: "It is expected that many venues will be able to show the game within their usual opening hours and permitted hours for the sale of alcohol. However, there may be a few who require additional permission to do so if their licence has a later opening hour or later hour to start the sale of alcohol.  

"While there is not sufficient time to request and consider extending hours for opening or sale of alcohol, Cornwall Council and Devon and Cornwall Police want to support local venues as suggested by the Government.

"That being the case if a venue already has a premises licence for consumption of alcohol on their premises and they open at 10 am to serve alcohol, there will be no enforcement action taken, either by the council or the police, if their licence requires them to open later.

"All other licence conditions and restrictions remain in place and will be enforced. This includes the hours that sale of alcohol must end and the closing hours on the licence."
