Emma McClarkin, Chief Executive of the BBPA, said: “This weekend was a celebration of British tradition, nation and community.
“Our pubs are central to that story—bringing people together and boosting the economy.
“A bank holiday would not only honour our heritage but deliver a tangible economic and social dividend as communities come together and raise a glass to Beer Day Britain as well as celebrate everything that is great about Britain.”
She added that ministers should support pubs with a long-term plan that includes a cut to beer duty and fairer business rates.
