community buyout
Our Story
Village pubs are central to community life and the St Dunstan is no different. In 2025, the current owners of Langley’s village pub, the St Dunstan Inn, put the pub up for sale and local residents launched a community buyout to give residents, local businesses and the wider community the opportunity to collectively own the pub in a way that puts people before profits and keeps the pub as a community space with a long future ahead of it.
The Langley Community Society Limited (LCS Ltd) has since been established as a Community Benefit Society registered with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). The Society has been formed to facilitate the community ownership of the sole remaining pub in Langley village, an historic public house which has served the village for over two centuries.
Together, we can own this pub, secure its future, and make it a vibrant, welcoming hub for everyone to enjoy.
THE FUTURE
The current owners of the St Dunstan Inn have relocated but the pub is still open and the Langley Community Society along with a whole host of volunteers, are running the pub in a caretaking role until the purchase of the pub is completed. Support by the community and an anonymous backer who has generously agreed to purchase the freehold property, enabling the community to focus on acquiring and operating the business of The St Dunstan Inn, means we are in a position to go ahead with the purchase of the pub for the benefit of the local area.
We are now offering shares giving the opportunity for individuals, families and organisations to become part-owners of the business by purchasing shares in Langley Community Society Limited. The funds raised will be used to acquire and operate the pub business, ensuring that The St Dunstans Inn continues to thrive as a sustainable and inclusive community asset.
To buy shares, go the Apply for Shares section of the website. Each share will be £250. You can buy one or more shares or even buy a share as a group or family.
Once secured, we will appoint a tenant who not only runs a great pub but who shares our vision of it as a welcoming, inclusive space that serves the whole community.
We want The St Dunstan to thrive as a hub for connection, culture, and wellbeing — hosting local groups, activities, and events that bring people together and strengthen village life.
By owning the pub together, we protect it together — for today, for tomorrow, and for the future of our village.
