How early you hear
Earliest news: often weeks before opening
A venue that wants a licence to sell alcohol has to say so publicly before it can open, often weeks before the doors open. We have this for 14 of Yorkshire and Humberside's 15 areas so far:
- Barnsley
- Bradford
- Calderdale
- Doncaster
- East Riding of Yorkshire
- Kingston upon Hull
- Leeds
- North East Lincolnshire
- North Lincolnshire
- North Yorkshire
- Rotherham
- Sheffield
- Wakefield
- York
New food businesses: before or around opening
Every new food business has to tell the authorities before it opens. We check every day, across all 15 Yorkshire and Humberside areas, and pick out the ones just starting up.
Sources: many public records and published sources. We do our very best to keep people's names and home addresses out of the lists. If one slips through, email hello@venuespotter.co.uk and we'll remove it.
