Save the New Clarence
help us establish Hull's first community owned and run pub
Latest Update November 2024: We continue to await the outcome of three processes that will determine the future status and use of The New Clarence:
1. An appeal against its status as an asset of community value.
2. An appeal of the councils decision to refuse it becoming a 29 bedroom HMO.
3. A new planning application in for the 1st and 2nd floors to be a 20 bedroom HMO.
The new application for a 20 bed HMO to be added to the upper floors will probably be considerd by Hull Council's planning committee on 4 December 2024. If you want to show your support for the building remaining 100% pub please come along to the Guildhall at 1.45 on 4 December to watch the committee.

What we are about
We are a group of people from Hull and the surrounding area who are concerned about the rate at which our local pubs are closing. It started off being about just saving The New Clarence but we now want to achieve something for the whole city. Creating a place where individuals and groups can relax and enjoy good food, drinks and music with space for Community groups to meet.
Why The New Clarence should and can be Hull's first Community owned and run pub:
- The New Clarence is the only pub classified as an Asset of Community Value in the city. Its city centre location, wide range of facilities and accessibility make it a great community space.
- The owners of the building offered to sell it to the community and we have now made them a generous offer.
- If the owners decide to sell it to us The New Clarence will be run as a co-operative, everyone with a share gets a say in how the pub is run.
