Love your local? Make 2022 the Summer of Pub

SOPCAMRA’s ‘Summer of Pub’ campaign is back this year to get as many people as possible enjoying the season of good – well, better - weather by heading down to their local for a pint.

We will be celebrating how our nation’s pubs offer numerous benefits to people’s mental and social well-being and play an instrumental role in the communities they serve. Drinking cheap supermarket booze at home does little to improve your life – but change that setting to the social environment of a pub and you can increase your happiness, make friends and connect with others in your local community, while still enjoying the tipple of your choice.

Campaigning to support Britain’s pubs is something anyone can get involved in and can be as simple as stepping out the door and taking a stroll to a local. And if you can encourage some friends or family to join you, then all the better.

As the season progresses, make sure to plan a pub visit for some of our key celebratory dates.

So head down to the pub, make friends and memories, and – most importantly - shout about how much you love your local this Summer.

You can share the fun by supporting Summer of Pub on social media - let us know how you’re be celebrating by sharing photos of you and friends in the pub using the hashtag #SummerofPub.
