Mansfield and Ashfield pubs join forces with The Royal British Legion to raise funds for veterans

From October 26, pint and half-pint glasses will be available to purchase from 1,175 Marston’s pubs across the UK, including 194 in the East Midlands and 47 in Nottinghamshire.

Pint glasses will cost £2.50 and half pint glasses will cost £2, with 100% of the profits going to The Royal British Legion.

Glasses will be available to purchase empty, as well as with drinks to be enjoyed in pubs, before taking them home.

The poppy glasses are just one part of Marston’s month to remember, with pubs running awareness and fundraising events up and down the country, including everything from community breakfasts, to live music, to remember our veterans past and present.

Jared Sedgwick, director of operations from Marston’s, said: “We’re so proud to be working in partnership with The Royal British Legion to give our customers another way to raise awareness and crucial funds for veterans, who are such a large part of the Marson’s community.

“We want to welcome everyone to their local pub for what will be a month to remember, and join us in saying cheers to our heroes.”
