Get Involved – Volunteer with Us

One of the best things about being a community-owned pub is that everyone has the opportunity to play a part in its success. The Lion at Ickleton is more than just a pub – it’s a shared project, a community hub, and a space we’re building together.
There are so many ways to get involved, whatever your skills, experience or availability. Whether it’s:

  • Helping behind the bar
  • Serving in the community café
  • Keeping the garden looking beautiful
  • Supporting with building maintenance or ongoing improvements
  • Offering your skills in IT, communications, PR, or helping run events
  • Joining or supporting the management committee

We also welcome expertise in areas like HR, charity governance, health and safety, risk assessment, or cellar management – the list goes on!
Volunteering is a brilliant way to meet people, learn something new, and be part of something special. If you’d like to offer your support or find out more, we’d love to hear from you. Please get in touch at: info@thelionatickleton.co.uk

✨ 6 weeks of The Lion ✨ We’re honestly over ✨ 6 weeks of The Lion ✨

We’re honestly overwhelmed by the love and support we’ve received since opening our doors 🦁❤️

As we sneak off for a little holiday (don’t worry, the pub is open and in safe hands!), we just wanted to take a moment to say the biggest THANK YOU to every single one of you who has popped in for a drink, enjoyed our food, shared advice, given hugs, laughs, and made us feel so welcome on this new adventure.

We’re beyond grateful that you’re helping us bring The Lion back to its glory, and we can’t wait to continue this journey with you all 🍻✨

With love,
Chris, Vikki & The Lion Team x
