Brewer Guinness is lighting up 22 pubs across the country with a dazzling Christmas display - and giving away free pints to celebrate.
Twenty-two pubs nationwide have been selected as part of the display including The Lock Tavern in Camden, The Queen’s Vaults in Cardiff and The Pickled Sprout in Harrogate.
To ensure these festive celebrations could take place at local pubs, Guinness has donated £30million towards keeping pubs, bars and restaurants open in 2021.
Meanwhile, Guinness has also created ‘The Guinness Pub Choir’ which is starring in the brand's Christmas advert, made up of 30 publicans and bar staff, performing a specially composed version of the classic ' Always on my Mind.’
Guinness is also giving away free pints to drinkers this festive season. Simply download Dusk — a free app — which will show the nearest pubs that are giving away free drinks.
Patrick Frawley, landlord of The Lock Tavern pub, said “It’s been a difficult time for us due to Covid limiting people coming through our doors and ordering pints.
"We feel so lucky to have been chosen to have our pub lit up with these fantastic displays and we’re hopeful our unique Guinness Christmas lights will encourage our community to visit us over the festive season.”
Neil Shah, head of Guinness GB, added: "Our “Light Up the Local” Christmas campaign is about celebrating pubs as the beating heart of our communities where people can come together with their mates over a pint of Guinness in the run up to Christmas."
