Pubs and live music venues relief

From 1 April 2026, every pub and live music venue will:

• get 15% off its new business rates bill on top of the support announced at the Budget
• have its bills frozen for a further two years

You can find more information on the GOV.UK website.

Where we believe the eligibility criteria are met, we will be issuing ratepayers with bills showing the uncapped relief of 15%. 

If you believe you qualify for this relief and this is not shown on your 2026/27 bill, please contact us detailing why you believe you are eligible. 

If you need further advice, please call us on 0121 704 8173.
