The New Clarence
help us establish Hull's first community owned and run pub
Latest Update February 2025: The New Clarence - reopening in 2025!
We are excited to announce that we will be relaunching our share issue at an event on 1 March 2025 at the Polar Bear. This will enable us to recruit more members/supporters and raise the funds needed to refurbish and reopen The New Clarence.
We have established a team of people with architectural, quantity surveying, health and safety skills who are working hard on redesigning the function room and community space in the pub. We plan to reopen the pub later this year and will keep people updated on this site and on our facebook page.
The community support from across the region and beyond has been fantastic. Hopefully see you at the Polar Bear on 1 March at 7pm.
Massive thanks to our supporters.
Goals Reached:
£157k shares sold
£300k grants received
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.
