A small team set up by the Parish Council created a Community Benefit Society (CBS) to try to purchase the Three Horseshoes pub in Garsington. The Society has been registered with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA Registration Number: RS008197; VAT Registration Number: 334 6405 14).
Despite very strong support from the community, our bid for the pub was not successful. The Three Horseshoes was acquired by Naseem Qume who has close ties to Garsington and only recently moved from the village. She has put in place staff to run the pub and will provide regular updates to the Community Benefit Society.
