To celebrate the end of Dry January, a group of passionate pub lovers - including the London Pub Explorer and the CityStack London Pub Collection - are teaming up to launch Support an Independent Pub Day on Saturday, 15 February. The aim? To support local communities and give a boost to independent pubs.
Each participating pub will set a target for pints sold on the day, which will be shared with patrons to help meet the goal. Communities will come together all day long to make sure the tills are ringing.
The mission of these pub enthusiasts is simple: to celebrate and support the beloved local pubs that play a vital role in fighting loneliness and fostering social connections for millions of Britons.
We’ve compiled a list of special events hosted by independent pubs for this occasion. Find your pub, book a table, and join other pub lovers in making the most of this special day!
