The community built The Bevy.

Now it’s time we owned it.

For more than twelve years, local people have poured their blood, sweat and beers into building something special. Today, The Bevy is the only community-owned pub on a housing estate anywhere in the UK. The community owns the business. Now, for the first time, we’ve got the chance to own the building too. Help us finish what we started.

Why it matters

More Than A Pub.

The Bevy is a proper local, but it’s always been about more than pulling pints. Every week we bring people together through Family Fun Thursday, free meals, our Dementia Café, Seniors’ Lunch Club, Disability Disco, Job Club, quizzes, live music, pool and darts, and plenty more.

It’s a place where families find a bit of breathing space, neighbours look out for each other, friendships grow and everyone gets the same warm welcome. Some people come for a pint, others for a coffee, a chat or a helping hand. Whatever brings you through the door, there’s always a place for you.

That’s what we’re protecting.

Now Let’s Make Sure It Stays That Way

This isn’t about saving The Bevy. We’ve already done that.

The pub works. We’ve been trading at a profit for more than six months, the community owns the business and we’ve shown that a community-owned pub can thrive.

Now we’ve got the chance to finish the job. For the first time since reopening in 2014, we can buy the building too. By backing our Asset of Community Value application, you’ll help give us the time we need to raise the money, buy the freehold and keep The Bevy where it belongs — in community hands, forever.
