The Golden Beam, Headingley: Wetherspoons plans to extend opening hours of popular pub in Leeds

The company has submitted an application to Leeds City Council to vary the premises licence for The Golden Beam on Headingley Lane in Headingley.

The application, made under Section 34 of the Licensing Act 2003, seeks to extend the pub’s operating hours along with its permitted times for selling alcohol and providing late night refreshment.

The proposal includes extending the sale of alcohol to 9 am until midnight from Sunday to Thursday, and 9 am until 12.30 am on Fridays and Saturdays.

Late night refreshment would be allowed from 11 pm until midnight from Sunday to Thursday, and until 12.30 am on Fridays and Saturdays. The pub’s opening hours would also be extended to 8 am until 12.30 am between Sunday and Thursday, and 8 am until 1 am on Fridays and Saturdays.

These changes would significantly lengthen the pub’s current hours. At present, The Golden Beam closes at 10.30 pm from Sunday to Thursday, and at midnight on Fridays and Saturdays.

Details of the application can be viewed at the Entertainment Licensing department at Leeds Civic Hall during normal opening times, or online at www.leeds.gov.uk.

Anyone wishing to make a representation must do so in writing to the Licensing Authority at the Civic Hall address or by email to [email protected]. Representations must be submitted no later than Wednesday, 24 December 2025 and must state the reasons for the objection or comment.

The application was dated November 26.
