Raising a glass: Beloved village pubs to be helped with new funding to broaden their services
Press release
In a boost for our great British boozers, rural pubs across the UK will benefit from new government funding to help them provide extra services for local communities.

The response accepts all but one of Sir Wyn William’s Horizon-related recommendations.

The Government is launching a fast-track review to tear up outdated licensing rules that have been holding back pubs, bars and local events and we want to hear from the people who know best: landlords, punters and communities.
