10 Years of Community Ownership at the Gardeners Rest
​Ten years ago, our community came together with a shared dream: to protect our beloved pub and keep its doors open for everyone. A full decade on, thanks to the incredible love, support, and dedication of our shareholders, regulars, and neighbours, The Gardeners Rest is still standing strong, independent, and thriving.
​This pub belongs to all of us, and reaching this ten-year milestone means the world to our entire team. We want nothing more than to celebrate this moment with the very people who made it possible.
​Please join us on Saturday 26th September. The event runs from 12pm to 9pm, with the bar open and pouring right through until 11pm.
​Here’s what’s lined up across the day:
​Sizzling garden BBQ
​Our special celebratory b**r fresh on the taps
​Live music and Morris dancers throughout the afternoon
​A chance to catch up and meet the directors
​Dead Man’s Uke playing live from 6pm
​Whether you’ve backed us since day one, pop in for a weekly pint, or simply find sanctuary by the river, you are the heart of this pub. Come down, bring your friends and family, and let’s raise a glass together to ten unforgettable years—and to many more to come.
