Pubs are giving everyone a free drink every week in October

More than 1,000 pubs are giving everyone a free drink every week in October.

The new scheme, called 'Here's to the Pub', has been launched to keep people visiting pubs and bars which reopened in early July following the UK lockdown.

The new offer includes everything from beer to wine to G&Ts and soft drinks, the Mirror reports.

More than 1,250 pubs across the UK are signed up to the initiative to help get the hospitality industry back on its feet following the introduction of the 10pm curfew.

Nick Light, from pub group Ei Publican Partnerships, said: "It's more important than ever that we support our local pubs in the new 'normal' to help the industry to get back on its feet.

"To encourage people back in, we’re running our largest ever initiative and offering pub goers their first drink for free every week in October."

To claim your drinks, visit   www.great-british-pubs.co.uk, register on the app, choose your pub, and follow the instructions the redeem your drink when you're there.

In participating pubs you will be able to redeem one free drink a week from Thursday to Wednesday until October 29.

There are 30 drinks to choose from - including Heineken, John Smiths Strongbow Dark Fruit, Budweiser, Rekorderlig, Heineken 0.0, Gordon's Gin and Tonic, J20 and Pepsi.

While supporting the hospitality industry, it is also important to remember the rules in place.

The 'rule of six' makes it illegal for people to meet with groups larger than six in any setting.

In areas of local lockdown, socialising is also banned. You should not meet with people you do not live with, unless they’re in your support bubble, in any public venue.
