Another Community Pop-Up Pub Event

Due to popular demand and because we had such fun at the Jingle Mingle, we’ll be holding another pop-up pub event. Come along and mingle with friends and neighbours, old and new. Everyone is welcome!

It’s also the closing date for Bladon Community Pub share offer, so we’ll be giving an update on share purchases.

Our friends at Little Ox Brewery and Eynsham Wine Cellars will once again be supporting us with a well-stocked bar and nibbles.

Everyone is welcome!

Please RSVP to make sure we
can cater for everyone!

We’re Over Halfway There!

With just over two weeks to go until the Bladon Community Pub share offer closes, we are over halfway to our target. More than £100,000 in shares have been purchased by local residents. There are many reasons to buy Bladon Community Pub shares. If you haven’t already done so, your shares could make the difference. 

3 Great Reasons to Invest!

1. Bladon’s last community hub  

It’s not just about keeping a boozer, it’s the last remaining community facility in the village and has the potential to be much more than a pub. In the UK, 120 pubs have been taken over by the community and every one of them continues to thrive.

2. Protect your property value

Surveys show that 23% of house buyers thought having a good local was important and that close proximity to a popular pub could add as much as 10% to property prices.

3. Stop another potential housing development

We know that developers are interested, they’ve even approached us! The Asset of Community Value status gives the community the opportunity to bid for the pub and is our best chance of securing and having a say in the White House’s future.

Bladon is more than a road, we have a heart of the village and the White House could be so much More than a Pub. Let’s not lose it!

Further Reading on Pubs and Property Value

A Good Pub Can Increase Your Property Value by 10%

There are many reasons to buy Bladon Community Pub shares including your property price.

A recent survey showed that 23% of buyers thought having a good local was an important part of their decision-making process and that close proximity to a popular pub could add as much as 10% to property prices.

If you haven’t already done so, this is another important reason to buy pub shares…not to mention the negative impact that having a boarded up pub could have on your house value!
