Active Campaign

Following the closure of the Dolphin Inn in 2019, members of the local community began campaign to save the pub. In March 2025 they registered The Dolphin Inn Kenton Limited as a Community Benefit Society. In June 2025 they launched a share offer. An ACV moratorium period ended on the 30th July 2025, and an offer has been made to purchase the freehold of the pub.

See the society website and Facebook Group for more details.
