What Is a Community Pub?

A community pub is a pub that plays an active role in local life. It's a place where people gather to celebrate, support one another, raise money for local causes and enjoy shared experiences.

A community pub is often at the centre of neighbourhood events, charity initiatives and local celebrations. It's where sports teams meet, friendships are formed, charities are supported and communities come together.

At Craft Union, we believe every pub community should have a welcoming space where everyone feels at home.
