A historic UK pub faces potential closure after its owner plans to sell it, threatening its future as a community space.
A pub in Aldbourne, Wiltshire, faces uncertainty after its owner, Stonegate Pub Group, announced plans to sell it despite a long-term lease held by the Aldbourne Beer Club, which took over in 2024.
The club’s operator, Simon Crisp, worries the sale could jeopardize efforts to preserve the 400-year-old building, which has seen major repairs and investments.
He fears the venue might be converted into a private residence rather than remain a community hub.
The sale is part of Stonegate’s broader strategy to offload over 1,000 pubs to reduce debt, raising concerns among leaseholders about the future of historic community pubs.
