Stockland Community Pub

Our vision is to buy The King’s Arms, Stockland for the benefit of the community and to secure its future as a thriving community pub.

Our big news- the King's Arms is now under COMMUNITY OWNERSHIP! That's right- keys were handed over last week. You can see pictures of our amazingly dedicated (and very happy) committee right here: https://t.co/8OVTlyOFjR

We are so looking forward to sharing pictures of the restoration and to welcoming you all when we are able to reopen. There's a long road ahead but we're so pleased to be taking this journey :)

@tashgeo Thank you! We're so delighted.

Phew! After some pretty frustrating IT issues we're back #DevonHour with the big announcement... drum roll please...

[Stockland Community Pub @StocklandComPub]

In fact, our news is so amazing and we are so keen to share it that we're a day early for you @Devon_Hour !! You'll never guess ;)

See you tomorrow team!

[Stockland Community Pub @StocklandComPub]

Team #DevonHour are you there? We've been away for a bit while things were rather hush hush BUT we have some STONKINGLY BRILLIANT NEWS.....

[Stockland Community Pub @StocklandComPub]

Not a flake here in the @BlackdownsAONB but we are living in hope... there's just nothing quite like the feeling when the snow first falls.

[Devon County Show @DevonCountyShow]

Does anyone have snow in Devon this morning. We've just heard from @bbcdevon that there's a good sprinkling on Dartmoor - maybe enough for some snowballs? We're off! @Devon_Hour

@Devon_Hour We're here but late! Survey took place yesterday on the King's Arms in Stockland and we're moving forward with the purchase- can't wait to get this great Devon pub back to its best

[Stockland Community Pub @StocklandComPub]

Also, if you're looking for an update on what's going on with the pub purchase, we have a STRUCTURAL SURVEY taking place tomorrow so things are happening!

Re: LRT: On Tuesday 7th August, BBC Radio Devon had a discussion on pub closures as part of their early morning show. The feature included a live interview with Damian Clay from the SCPL Management Committee, speaking outside the Kings Arms...

[Plunkett UK @Plunkett_UK]

📻 LISTEN: Hear members of @StocklandComPub Management Committee talking to @BBCDevon on @CAMRA_Official pub closures and how their #CommunityPub will benefit the community (starts at 1:08:45) https://t.co/A7fwuOnOMx

Apparently it's #InternationalBeerDay. Seems like a good enough reason to buy a share in a #villagepub such as @StocklandComPub. Their #commshares offer is still OPEN. So for the ££ of a large round you can help secure their future! Cheers! #MorethanaPub https://t.co/G6two79Ghj

@beerjustice @RogerProtzBeer @PlunkettFoundat @plunkett_saraht @PubistheHub_uk @mhclg @CAMRA_Official Thank you so much Steve. We are so pleased and can't wait for you to visit after the grand reopening.

[Stockland Community Pub @StocklandComPub]

And an enormous thank you to all of our 200+ investors. If you'd like to be one of them, the Share Offer is now open until September so you've got a bit more time to be part of this super local pub's resurrection

[Stockland Community Pub @StocklandComPub]

Huge thank you to @PlunkettFoundat for their ongoing support and for helping us become #MoreThanAPub and of course @cosmichelenv for her enthusiasm and guidance

[Stockland Community Pub @StocklandComPub]

In short- YOU DID IT! We have now raised over our £260,000 target and are at work to buy the King's Arms. It's been a long road and there's a way to go, but we are over the moon that the #communitypub dream is coming to Stockland

[Stockland Community Pub @StocklandComPub]

We've shared some of our news on our Facebook page, but we have some astounding news for all of you tweeps!

[Stockland Community Pub @StocklandComPub]

Phew, what a couple of weeks while our media person has been away on holiday then dogged by disaster as a fallen tree took out the internet in this pocket of Stockland!

[Stockland Community Pub @StocklandComPub]

@cosmichelenv That's certainly the plan @AngliaPress ! The very best of local ingredients and breweries, making our community pub a destination that will showcase what makes East Devon so very special
