History

Historical Context

The UK's 2008 Licensing Act revolutionized nightlife by permitting extended alcohol sales, resulting in a 20% rise in late-night venues in cities like London and Manchester. Falmouth's 'After 5' campaign seeks to replicate this success, aiming to enhance its night-time economy and strengthen community ties, reflecting broader trends in urban revitalization following the Act's implementation.
