The White Lion Is Saved – Thank You!

A massive thank you! Not only have we smashed our Crowdfunder target of £30,000 but, with your generous donations by cheque, cash and BACs – together with funding from the parish council, Palmers and takings from The Comrades Arms – we now have nearly £50,000.

It’s an incredible achievement, and demonstrates how important a roaring White Lion is to this community. Once we have signed the tenancy agreement, which is imminent, work will start on refurbishing the inside of the pub and kitting out the kitchen.

We hope to have more news to tell you very soon. In the meantime, stand proud, Lions, you’ve done brilliantly. 🙂
