The Kings Arms is Strete’s community-owned pub – the village stepped in to save it in 2020, and have been running it together ever since.

The Open Arms Draw is our way of looking after the pub and making it the best it can be, with the community that owns it. The first six years have taken their toll, and the pub needs refreshing!

The draw closes at 6pm on Saturday 6 June 2026 and the winner will be drawn live later that evening at our Bubbles 2026 World Sparkling Wine Fair.

One ticket. One winner. £1,000 in cash.

What’s a little different about this draw is what happens behind the scenes. As tickets sell, we’ll be using the funds to make the changes that help the pub open its arms – changes that lift the place and make people pause as they walk past, decide to come in, and stay. We aim to respond to the suggestions the community put forward earlier this year to improve the look and feel inside the pub. Its ambience! We have a small ‘Ambience’ team of supporters who are focused on this. Anyone who’s bought a ticket might find their name credited against an item, picked from the entries to date, as the funding allows. It’s the pub being put together, piece by piece, by the people who own it – and one of you walks away with £1,000 to do with as you please.

If you’d like to donate an item – a piece of the pub’s new look – as well as buying tickets, please do get in touch and the A-team(!), busy curating a coherent look, will consider the offer to make sure your generosity lands well.

The pub is owned by the community. So is its future. Thank you for being part of it.
