Invest Overview
Now is the time to 'Save a Pub for Bampton Valley' by acquiring and restoring 'The Mardale' under community ownership. This is a 'one-off' opportunity to secure our rural heritage for the long term benefit of Valley residents and our visitors - we must not let it pass us by.
​
As shareholders, we will be equal members of the 'Community Benefit Society'. Together we can enhance the building's amenities, influence the pub's offerings by working in partnership with a professional tenant, keep spend in the local economy to support employment, and help address other challenges of the area such as community cohesion and social isolation. We will be making a positive material impact on our World Heritage Site.
​
This Share Offer was open during February 2022. There was an optimal target to raise of £360,000. In the event it closed early as the maximum target of £400,000 was reached before March 3rd.
​
This webpage provides all the documents that supported the original Share Offer, an 'At a Glance' summary and directions on how to apply for the 'Shares Waitlist' or to make a short term donation now.
​
We are now focused on sourcing approximately £200,000 in additional grants and donations to ensure that the pub can be fully redeveloped, can meet its full business plan and is sustainable for generations to come.
