Property details
Located in the heart of Failsworth, just east of Manchester City Centre and surrounded by dense residential housing, the pub is well positioned to attract loyal local trade alongside sports fans.
A major investment is set to transform the Mare & Foal, introducing the Grandstand concept to the site – a bold new sports‑led proposition built around big screens, standout viewing, great food and a welcoming community atmosphere. Designed so every big game feels special, while remaining a place where families and locals feel at home, this investment will elevate the Mare & Foal into a true hub for the area.
The planned investment is due to take place in October 2026, but the pub is available from July which will allow the successful candidate to recruit sports teams, introduce weekly events i.e. quiz, bingo etc. and establish a loyal customer base pre-closure for the investment.
The Mare & Foal already benefits from a spacious open‑plan trading area, lending itself naturally to a strong sports and social offer.
Externally, the pub has strong kerb appeal, a front patio area, on‑site parking, and a fantastic enclosed rear beer garden – ideal for summer trading, family visits and community events.
The private accommodation consists of three double bedrooms, a lounge, an office, a kitchen, and a bathroom.

Trading style
Live sport will be central to the future offer, perfectly suited to a Manchester football‑loving market. From Manchester City and Manchester United fixtures to derby days, cup runs and major tournaments, the Grandstand concept is all about creating shared sporting moments through immersive viewing and atmosphere. This will be supported by a branded Grandstand menu, featuring sports‑inspired food, bar snacks and crowd‑pleasing favourites designed to drive trade throughout the week – not just on matchdays.
The landlords are looking for an operator who’s excited to lead the Mare & Foal through its transformation, playing a hands‑on role during capex by building the team, setting standards and bringing the Grandstand concept to life. Someone who can deliver big‑game atmosphere while creating a welcoming, community‑focused pub for families and locals every day of the week.
