Last chance to buy a share in The Fishers Arms community pub in Horncliffe

Following a hard-fought campaign that was backed by a number of famous faces, the steering committee for the buyout of The Fishers Arms in Horncliffe managed to exceed its £200,000 target to buy the village pub thanks to numerous donations and pledges.

However, more money is needed to be raised to carry out repairs and refurbishments.

Fundraising events are continuing and applications being made, and the other method is the share option.

A spokeswoman for the committee said: “Although people can still donate or volunteer to help after October 31, we hope more people will buy a share ahead of the deadline as it will be a big help to our efforts.

“We would love to be open once again by Easter 2023 if we can raise enough money.”
