Not sure what time pubs are closing at tonight. Is tomorrow a bank holiday? I remember last time Stephans Day fell on a Sunday, the pubs had to close at 11pm - ie. normal Sunday night closing time.

That sounds like an unholy disaster! Hopefully proper precautions will have been taken this time to avoid something like that happening again.

The law was/ still is unclear because the guards actually went around to all the pubs that night to inform them of the closing time!

Wrong!

Tomorrow and Tuesday are bank holidays. They have to be to account for Christmas day and st. Stephens day being at the weekend. Id be shocked if most pubs do not have normal sunday before a bank holiday monday opening hours, so 12:30 for pubs that dont have late licenses.

The Public Holidays are December 25th and 26th. Because they fall on a weekend, people who ordinarily work Mon - Fri are entitled to the next two working days off instead of having Sat and Sun be their day off. This does not make Mon and Tues public holidays.

(So I guess they open the shorter hours (of 'Sunday hours' and 'Public holiday hours') unless there's something specific about Sunday public holidays

Public holidays falling on a weekend

Where a public holiday falls on a weekend, you do not have any automatic legal entitlement to have the next working day off work. This occurs in 2010 when Christmas Day (25 December) falls on a Saturday and St Stephen's Day (26 December) falls on a Sunday. It also occurs in 2011 when New Year's Day (1 January) falls on a Saturday. This means that Monday 27 and Tuesday 28 December 2010, and Monday 3 January 2011 are not public holidays. When this happens you are entitled to the normal alternative arrangements concerning employment and public holidays that is:

A paid day off within a month of the public holiday
An additional day of annual leave
An additional day's pay
The nearest church holiday to the public holiday as a paid day off.

Your employer can require you to attend work on those days.

So if citizensinfo is correct then 27th is not a public holiday, so 26th is not on the eve of a public holiday and so pubs should have closed at 11pm. Maybe the definition is different in that working time act.
