A sports centre in Barnes has applied to extend its alcohol licence and opening hours at weekends.

Rocks Lane Barnes Multi Sports Centre has submitted a licensing application to Richmond Council to amend the hours for the sale of alcohol and to extend its premises opening times.

Currently, the clubhouse is licensed to sell alcohol from 9am to 10pm Monday to Friday, and from 8am to 8pm on Saturdays and Sundays.

Under the proposed changes, the sports centre is seeking permission to serve alcohol for an additional two hours on Sundays — extending sales from 8am to 10pm.

In addition, Rocks Lane Barnes hopes to extend its weekend opening hours, proposing to stay open until 10pm on both Saturdays and Sundays, instead of the current 8pm closing time.

Founded 30 years ago, Rocks Lane offers multi-use pitches, courts and facilities for sports and parties across south-west London.

Residents have until Wednesday, 7 May 2025 to submit representations regarding the application.
