Pubs, nightclubs, and gig venues are scrambling to reschedule events for earlier hours to comply with new rules that late-night venues must now close by midnight.

The 12am 'Cinderella curfew' issued for pubs, clubs, and restaurants takes effect from Thursday, less than four weeks after many venues reopened their doors for the first time in 19 months.
