Live Entertainment

The pub has firmly established itself as a valued part of the local community, offering reasons to visit throughout the week rather than just at weekends. Customers are drawn by a diverse, high-quality drinks range featuring leading brands, complemented by weekly promotions and excellent-value monthly deals. A well-balanced entertainment programme is central to attracting and retaining customers across a broad range of age groups. While weekend evenings remain peak socialising times, the current mix of live music and DJs has proven highly successful in generating strong trade. This momentum can be further enhanced by a consistent and engaging midweek offering, giving locals even more reason to return regularly. With multiple TV screens in place, there is clear potential to make greater use of Sky Sports beyond football, showcasing a wider range of sporting events and capturing trade both before and after key fixtures. The pub already supports active darts and pool teams, with further opportunities to introduce additional sports teams alongside traditional favourites such as bingo and quiz nights, activities that would strongly appeal to the local community and align well with the new operator’s vision. To maintain interest and encourage repeat visits, consistency and creativity in both planning and delivery will be essential. Above all, the pub’s identity should remain firmly rooted in the community, continuing to serve as a focal point for local life through charity initiatives, fundraising events and other community-focused activities.

The BDM is seeking an experienced operator (either single or a couple) with a strong history of running estate pubs and delivering an excellent sports viewing atmosphere alongside a varied and engaging entertainment programme, including DJs, karaoke, live music and comedy nights. As a Leeds United supporters’ pub, the ideal candidate would be a Leeds fan or someone with an in-depth understanding of the club’s fanbase and matchday footfall, ensuring that this loyal trade can be both protected and grown further. Given the pub’s community role, it is essential that the operator can actively champion charitable events, fundraising initiatives, meat raffles and seasonal activities such as summer events in the beer garden. The ability to develop and enhance the outdoor space is also a key priority, maximising its use and appeal for the community throughout the year.
