The Golden Lion sits in Sedgefield’s charming town near the racecourse and the historic and picturesque Hardwick Hall. Sedgefield is a small town in County Durham. It has a population of around 6,000 people. The town centre has several pubs and shops centred around a village green, but yours will be one of the few sports-centric watering holes. You’ll discover diverse sporting venues in Sedgefield, the most famous of which is Sedgefield Racecourse, a regional thoroughbred horse-racing venue hosting several monthly meets.
You’ll be taking on a local’s pub with sports at its core. You’ll maximise this unique selling point, as the other pubs in the town are much more food-led.
Guests love the large central bar and lounge and the spacious sports area at the back with a pool table and darts.
Externally, the pub also offers a small beer garden and ample parking spaces.
