Heritage Pub Revival Award

CAMRA has launched a new award to recognise the achievements of a group who have revitalised a historic heritage pub.

Previously known as the Heritage Award, part of CAMRA’s annual Pub Saving Award, the Heritage Pub Revival Award is now a standalone competition, aiming to promote and preserve historic pub buildings, while recognising and rewarding those who run them.

The Heritage Pub Revival Award is open to all pubs on the National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors, at Three, Two or One Star - a list compiled by CAMRA's Pub Heritage Group, which identifies pubs with intact traditional interiors, or which have features and rooms of national historic importance.

2026 Winner

Kerry Tyrrell - North Star

The pub was recently closed for nine months to undergo extensive works to fix damp and preserve the Grade II listed building, all carried out by local craftsman Michael Toplis. The results speak for themselves, with a refreshed building which retains its outstanding heritage value, a new programme of events and a ‘buzzing’ atmosphere.

The North Star building dates back to the late 15th century, with little known about its history before it became a public house. It was previously run by Wantage Brewing Co, and then Morland Brewery of Abingdon. It has been a freehouse since 1998, and Kerry Tyrrell's family have owned the pub for around 200 years.
