WE DID IT - OUR COMMUNITY SHARE OFFER RAISES £650K!

On the evening of 12 December 2025 at a fantastic event at the Kings Head, we announced how much we’d raised from our community share offer. We set a maximum target of £650K… and boy did the people in the community rise to the challenge!

The pub was packed, and filled with overwhelming joy when we revealed the final number of £650k (there was even a happy tear or two). It’s incredible what a community can achieve when the people pull together.

IT’S BEEN A ROLLER COASTER

The six weeks during the share offer saw both highs and lows. An initial flood of investments was followed by a huge lull. On December 4th, we still needed £53k just to hit our minimum target of £500K! But then the people rallied, and in the last few days of the offer there was a torrent of share applications – we even had to close the share offer a day early!

SO WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

The community purchase of the pub can now go ahead, and we won’t need a loan to help do it! We’re in a good place financially to start the business off and can be excited about what this means for the future of the pub and village.

WHAT'S NEXT?

Legal due diligence is in progress and we’re aiming for completion in January 2026. We’ll keep all our investors in the picture via email and post regular updates on our social media channels.

A MASSIVE THANK YOU

Without the people of this community and all of our investors, this would never have been possible. THANK YOU TO YOU ALL. We hope you’re as proud and excited as we are about what’s been achieved so far, and for the future of the King’s Head. Here’s to getting the keys, opening the doors and celebrating this moment… in YOUR pub. Cheers!
