🎉 TWO INCREDIBLE YEARS AT THE ELEPHANT & CASTLE! 🎉
This Saturday, we’re celebrating two years of the Elephant & Castle — and what an incredible two years it has been.
When we started this journey, we wanted to create much more than just somewhere to come for a pint or a bite to eat. We wanted the Elephant & Castle to become a proper community pub — somewhere people could meet, make friends, celebrate the good times, support each other through the difficult ones and, most importantly, feel at home.
Looking back over the last two years, it’s incredible to see just how far we’ve come.
We’ve had packed-out party nights, live music, bingo, charity fundraisers, Christmas celebrations, summer parties, Dawley Day, England games, countless Sunday lunches and, of course, Ellie Fest. We’ve laughed, danced, raised money for some amazing causes and made memories that we’ll genuinely never forget.
But the thing we’re proudest of isn’t any single event. It’s the community that has grown around this pub.
We’ve watched strangers become friends. We’ve welcomed new faces who are now regulars. We’ve celebrated birthdays, anniversaries and special occasions with you, and you’ve supported us through everything along the way.
Winning High Street Hero two years running was incredibly special, but seeing the pub busy, hearing people laughing and watching everyone enjoy themselves means just as much to us.
So, before Saturday, we want to hear from YOU…
What has been your favourite moment at the Elephant & Castle over the last two years?
Was it Ellie Fest? A particular party night? Bingo? A brilliant Sunday afternoon? One of our live acts? A special celebration? Or maybe it’s simply the friends you’ve made here?
Tell us in the comments — and if you’ve got photos from your favourite memories, we’d absolutely love to see those too!
Then come and celebrate it all with us this Saturday 19th September from 8pm, when the brilliant Funkytown will be live on stage bringing Motown, funk and party classics for our 2nd Anniversary Party.
To every customer, member of staff, entertainer, supplier, local business, charity and friend who has been part of our story over the last two years — THANK YOU.
You’ve helped turn the Elephant & Castle into the amazing community hub it is today.
Here’s to the memories we’ve already made, the friendships that have been formed and everything still to come.
Two years down… and we’re only just getting started.
See you Saturday. ❤️
Spencer, Lisa & all the team at the Elephant & Castle, Dawley 🥂🎉
