What pubs will be open on July 4th and what are the rules? Here's what you need to know as lockdown is eased...
On March 23, Boris Johnson ordered the closure of all pubs, bars and restaurants as the whole country went into lockdown.
However, as the strict measures to stop the spread of coronavirus are slowly lifted, now pubs in England have been given the green light to re-open on July 4th.
But while this means punters will be able to head to their favourite boozer over the weekend, there will be some strict social distancing guidance in place.
These include contactless-only payments where possible, 1+ metre distancing, minimal bar service and ordering via apps to reduce social contact.
Back-to-back seating, perspex screens and partitions between tables will also be used in some venues, as well as disposable menus and increased cleaning.

A temporary record will also be kept of all customers for 21-days so those who visit can be contacted if anyone in the pub tests positive for COVID-19.
So, what pubs and bar chains will be open in your area? See the full list below...
