Asset of Community Value

Community Supported

The future of the Hour Glass Inn was uncertain, and a new community group, Ourglass Exeter, was set up looking at different options, including the possibility of it becoming a community-owned pub. The pub has been designated as an Asset of Community Value by Exeter City Council. The pub's owners Stonegate were advertising for a new tenant/leaseholder to run the pub, but could consider selling the pub if they fail to find a new owner, and encouraged by the support from the local community, the pub was purchased by Exeter Brewery.
