We are now just £36,830 short of our £450,000 target thanks to the amazing generosity of our local community, supporters up and down the country and even people living overseas! We can’t thank you enough for helping us get this far 🙏🙏
We have great plans to make the Lion a fantastic destination for good food, local beer and a warm welcome. But we need one last push to get as close as we possibly can to our target by midnight tomorrow to put us in the very best position going forward.
Every little helps, as they say. So we are inviting you one last time to invest what you can and join us in this adventure! ❤️🦁❤️
Please invest today, if you can. If you’re already a shareholder we hope you might buy more shares, particularly if you’re a taxpayer & should get some of your investment back in tax relief. Even if you don't think yourself a 'pub person', we promise that community ownership will have many benefits - not least giving us vital control over the future of a historic building and large plot of land at the centre of our village.
If you have concerns or questions, for example about tax relief or what happens to your money in the event Greene King do not accept our offer, we are happy to answer them. Many are covered in the FAQs on our website. You can also email info@ickletonlionpub.co.uk or use the contact page to contact us.
Please don't wait. Get your shares today and together we can ‘Let the Lion Roar Again! 🦁❤️
RECENT UPDATES
We are delighted to have been awarded £45,000 funding from Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Combined Authority as part of its Market Towns Programme which aims to revitalise the area’s market towns and rural hinterlands.
The CPCA has partnered with Plunkett UK, a community business charity, to help community groups across the region take ownership and operation of local pubs and assets that are vacant or at risk of closure, revitalising assets whilst protecting and providing key local amenities that will benefit the community.
We’re incredibly grateful to both Plunkett UK & the CPCA for their invaluable support for our campaign and this much needed contribution to the funds we need to purchase and revitalise our beloved village pub.

Ickleton Community Pub Limited (ICP) was established in 2024 as a Community Benefit Society (CBS) incorporated under the Cooperative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014.
ICP was formed in order to:
-
Raise funds to purchase the freehold of and refurbish The Ickleton Lion through fundraising, shares and grants
-
Reopen and operate the pub as a successful long-term business to be run by professional staff
-
Ensure that The Ickleton Lion will become a social hub for the wider benefit of the community
ICP is based on the model rules provided by the Plunkett Foundation, a charitable organisation that supports community cooperatives in rural areas. ICP is currently run by a committee of people from Ickleton, details of whom can be found on the 'About' section of the website.
