We have bought the pub!

It’s the news we have all be waiting for. Thanks to your investment, patience and steadfast support, we’re delighted to finally be able to announce that The White Horse is now in community ownership!

So what happens next? Firstly, there is some fundamental repair and upgrading work required for the building and grounds, and beyond this we’ll be finalising and sharing with you our options for maximising the potential of the pub.

How ambitious these options are will depend on a number of factors, not least the availability of further funding. We’ll also welcome your donations of time, experience, practical and professional skills to help us in the many aspects of refurbishment that will be needed. More details of this next phase of development will be circulated when ready, including an outline of the ways in which you can be involved.

Once again, a huge thank you for your local, national and international help in making this long-awaited milestone possible. There are also many people without whose assistance the negotiation of this sale would not have been possible and we extend our grateful thanks to every one of them.

This is the first step in realising the tremendous community potential for The White Horse, and we welcome your continuing support in meeting the many challenges ahead. I’m sure that you will have many further questions, so please don’t hesitate email us at info@backthewhitehorse.com and we will do our best to answer as many as we can.
