It’s time to show your local some love

Did you say a pint-sized pub?

Nothing quite beats a trip to the local.  As one of the nation's oldest and most popular social institutions, these spaces are about more than just sipping on cider and snacking on peanuts. 

It's a space for socialising with your mates, sharing stories and mingling with the wider community. Pubs also provide a platform for local musicians to come onto the scene and facilitate the hosting of various events such as plays, pub quizzes and comedy shows. 

In many smaller towns and rural villages across the country, the local pub often remains the only social space available to people. 

There's no doubt that the local pub is a long-standing institution of British culture. 

These social hubs are some of the last communal spaces left across Britain and must be kept in business. 

Studies show us that pubs are closing at an alarming rate, with people opting to stay in rather than going out. With more than 200 pubs closing across Britian in the first half of 2025 alone, it's clear that this crucial third space is dying. 

So what can be done to revive the pub scene? Enter Vocation Brewery's The Wandering Inn.

Vocation Brewery has recently unveiled their travelling pint-sized pub, the Wandering Inn. If people want to stay in, then the pub will come to them. 

A recent Beer Audit by the brewer has revealed that beer drinkers want greater choice and bolder beers in pubs so this little bar on wheels is doing just that. Expect bold beers served with character.

At its core, however, Vocation Brewery sets out to remind communities to get out and give their local some love through The Wandering Inn.

They are also spreading some festive cheer by asking people to nominate the friends, family and familiar faces they’d most like to share a pint with for the chance to win a free bar tab at their local pub so head over to their Instagram to be in with a chance to win!

So what are you waiting for? Pop down to your local today and celebrate pub culture before it's too late.
