The Lowther Arms Community Project Ltd (LACP) is a Co-operative and Community Benefit Society created to buy and save the Lowther Arms village pub.
The Project has over 300 shareholders from the local community, and beyond, who came together to raise the money to buy the pub through the sale of Community Shares.
LACP also received support from a number of organisations including the Plunkett Foundation, Key Fund, Co-operatives UK, CAMRA, Allerdale Borough Council, Cumbria Community Foundation, Robin Rigg, and the Chamber of Commerce.
LACP are the landlords of the pub and lease to tenants. LACP has set the overall direction of the business as a welcoming, traditional, country pub serving great beer and home-cooked food, and the tenants are free to run the pub as they wish within this broad framework.
LACP retains control of the small caravan and camp site associated with the pub and income generated from this site, plus the tenant’s rent, will enable the Project to continue to invest to maintain the fabric of the building and improve the facilities. It will also enable the Project to fulfil its obligations as landlord and eventually generate a modest return for investors. Shares can still be bought – simply follow the ‘Buy Shares’ link.
LACP would like to thank all its shareholders and supporters who have made the re-opening of the Lowther Arms possible!

It’s December 1st, and that can mean only one thing!!! Little Tom (RIP Big Tom, we miss you!😂) is back… this time with a few friends.
We thought he was up to something when he transformed Elsie’s Lounge so quickly, and now we know why… he had help.
Meet Elfie Team Lowther!
Over the next few weeks you’ll see their antics, so follow along and enjoy the festive season with us. ... See MoreSee Less

Well, it may not quite be December but the elves have made an appearance at the pub.
They’ve “lovingly” decorated Elsie’s Lounge and renamed it “ElFie’s Lounge! They’ve got tinsel, coloured lights and replaced all Ben’s pictures with selfies of themselves! Much to Ben’s disappointment!
Anyway… keep an eye out for the little elves antics throughout December, there may be a few surprises along the way! ... See MoreSee Less
