Thriving South Downs vineyard gets set to stay open longer for business

Kinsbrook Vineyard in West Chiltington Road, Thakeham – which also features a restaurant and farm shop – was recently granted planning consent by Horsham District Council to extend its opening hours.

Now it is seeking a variation in its alcohol license to enable it to sell alcohol to coincide with opening times.

It is currently allowed to sell alcohol until 7pm Monday to Saturday and is now seeking to increase it to10pm Thursday to Sunday to match its permitted opening hours.
