Adjust opening hours of catering industry once

What is it?

If you are organizing a party or event at your catering establishment (not including a party tent), you may want to adjust the opening hours for that occasion. In that case, you will need to apply for a permit from the municipality to stay open longer.

To extend the closing time, you must take the following rules into account:

  • The extension of the closing time can be requested for Friday evening (the night from Friday to Saturday) or Saturday evening (the night from Saturday to Sunday) until 3:00 a.m. at the latest.
  • An extension of the closing time may be requested on the night following Easter Sunday and Easter Monday; King's Night and King's Day; Liberation Day; Ascension Day; Whit Sunday and Whit Monday; Christmas Day and Boxing Day, until 3:00 a.m. at the latest.
  • After 2:00 a.m., the license holder may not admit any new visitors to the hospitality establishment. The license holder is responsible for this.
  • The mayor may revoke or restrict the permit for closing hours at any time.
  • The mayor may deviate from the above rules for special reasons. 

What to do

You apply to the municipality for a permit at least 8 weeks in advance. Please provide the following information with your application:

  • Your name and the name of the supervisor;
  • Name and address of your catering establishment;
  • Why you want to be open longer;
  • On which day(s) you want to be open longer;
  • Until what time you want to be open.

How long does it take?

In principle, you will be notified within 8 weeks whether you will receive the permit.
