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.
