If I wanted to say in a newspaper article the event will from 8PM-11PM what is the AP style way of writing that?

I’m curious: In America, the press is meant to follow the Associated Press or AP Style for punctuation, spelling, and grammar usage. Is there a formal name (and possibly a published guide) for the style used in Britain? And if so, what is it called?
Thanks!

I’m working on a couple articles for my college newspaper and I am having a bit of trouble because I’m not used to the Associated Press style. I could really really use a guide. It doesn’t have to be all-inclusive, just something that I can go by. My editor said he’d help since I’m inexperienced but I would really really like to make it easier for him (and for me.) Thanks a bunch.
