THE organisation which bought a Grade II listed inn has revealed its plans to restore the historic pub for the community. Grizedale Arts purchased the derelict Farmer’s Arms near Ulverston late last year thanks to funding from the Architectural Heritage Fund. The group’s plans will see the restoration of the inn into a working pub and B&B. In addition to this there will be a workshop, meeting space, pop-up shops, a museum and a community arts centre, which will provide courses and training involving textiles, furniture, pottery and food and drink. Furthermore, outdoor spaces will be redeveloped to host community activities and to grow produce for the inn’s use.
Grizedale Arts completed their purchase of The Farmer’s Arms at Lowick Bridge on Tuesday. The arts organisation plans to return the inn back to the heart of the community. More than £300,000 was raised during six months of fundraising. Local investors and donors, on top of a matching loan from the Architectural Heritage Fund, contributed to the fund. The Grade II listed pub had been empty for nearly two years before the charity took it over. Grizedale Arts will now work together with the community to transform the neglected building. They aim to make The Farmer’s Arms a welcoming pub and community hub.
