When did all day Sunday drinking start in England?

All-day Sunday drinking in England began after the repeal of the restrictive licensing laws in 2003. Prior to this, Sunday drinking was limited, with pubs required to close in the early evening. The Licensing Act 2003 allowed pubs and bars to open for longer hours on Sundays, leading to a cultural shift in drinking habits. This change aimed to create a more relaxed approach to leisure and socializing on Sundays.
