flag Wetherspoons appeals a 2025 denial to extend Keswick pub’s beer garden hours, citing economic benefits and unjustified restrictions.

flag Wetherspoons is appealing a 2025 decision by the Lake District National Park Authority to deny its request to extend beer garden hours at its Keswick pub from 8pm to 11pm, citing concerns over noise and disruption to nearby homes, guesthouses, and retail spaces. flag The pub chain argues the change would boost local economic activity and claims the authority’s rejection—despite a proposed compromise to end at 10pm—was unjustified. flag The appeal is now under review by the planning inspectorate.
