The Sportsman reopens in Durham after major renovation works

The Sportsman has reopened as a 'community first pub' after a complete renovation funded by a £715,000 investment from brewing company Greene King. 


After being closed for more than two years, the popular pub is back and will now offer 18 new jobs in the community. 


The Sportsman is reopening as a 'hive pub', Greene King's franchise concept designed to bring quality local pubs into the heart of their communities.
