Nympsfield Community pub

To create a welcoming pub at the heart of our village to meet, socialise and connect with others - owned by and for the benefit of the community.

To purchase the only pub in our village, the Rose & Crown Inn, and transform it into a thriving community business that will benefit the residents of Nympsfield and the surrounding villages, as well as attracting visitors from farther afield to use its restaurant and accommodation. 

We aim to convert part of the building into a community café and village shop ensuring that our pub provides much-needed services and amenities for all sections of the community in this relatively isolated rural village.

Reopening the Rose & Crown Inn as a community-owned pub will reinvigorate our village by providing local groups, friends, and neighbours with a convivial hub to meet and socialise throughout the day. By appealing to all sections of the community the pub will improve social cohesion and reduce social isolation as well as provide residents with training and employment opportunities; and as a thriving profitable enterprise the pub has the potential to provide essential funding to other community groups in Nympsfield. When we achieve these outcomes, we know that our project has succeeded.
