Rural pubs are community hubs – What do you think?

A typical rural pub injects £100,000 into the local community, and is much more than just a place to drink.

The impact of pubs on rural communities in England was measured by Ignazio Cabras, a reader at Northumbria University’s Newcastle Business School’s Newcastle Business School.

The eighteen month research programme examined the importance of pubs in shaping community cohesion and social wellbeing across rural England.
