👀 JUST BECAUSE SUMMER’S ENDING…
DOESN’T MEAN THE PARTY IS! 👀

We’ve had an incredible summer in the Little Lion garden—brilliant entertainment, packed-out weekends and unforgettable memories! ❤️🦁

But just when you think the summer fun is coming to an end… we’re only getting started.

Something exciting has been taking shape behind the scenes, but we’re not ready to reveal everything just yet. 🤫

The party isn’t over—it’s entering its next chapter.

What do you think we’ve got planned? 👀

🦁 THIS WEEKEND AT THE LITTLE LION 🦁

❤️ FRIDAY 4TH – NATIONAL FOOD BANK DAY

We’ll have a collection box in the pub throughout the weekend for our local food bank. If you can spare any food, toiletries or household essentials, every donation will be greatly appreciated.

Even just 20p on our charity mirror helps—it all goes to the food bank once the mirror is full! Every little bit really does make a difference. ❤️

And, of course, it’s our Bonus Ball reveal at 5pm!
Who’s feeling lucky this week? 🤞🏼💷

💛 SATURDAY – INTERNATIONAL DAY OF CHARITY

We’ll be continuing our local food bank collection all day. Whether it’s one tin, a packet of pasta or a few spare coins, absolutely anything is appreciated.

Then it’s time for our Jukebox Party! 🎶
The jukebox is FREE from 5pm—so who’s taking over and playing DJ for the night? 🕺🏻💃🏻

🍺 SUNDAY – CHILL-OUT DAY

No fuss, no rushing—just a relaxing pint, good conversation and great company in the oldest, cosiest and friendliest pub in town.

Sometimes, a Sunday in the pub with friends is exactly what you need. ❤️
