Why We're Fundraising
We are Friends of the Elm Tree Inn, a community group working to save and restore The Elm Tree Inn, our much-loved village pub in Langton Herring. Since its closure in 2023, we’ve been working tirelessly to bring it into community ownership and reopen its doors.
Thanks to your incredible support, we are working with the owner to try and complete the purchase by the end of April 2025. We need to raise £100,000 to bring the pub back to life as a thriving hub for everyone to enjoy.
To help us reach our goal, local businesses and residents have generously donated these amazing prizes for our fundraising draw.
