EVER 'accidentally' taken a glass home from the pub?
It's not behaviour we would ever condone of course, but in a nod to those who have taken pub glasses home without permission, 1,000 pubs across the UK are serving drinks in limited-edition commemorative glasses for this year’s Poppy Appeal, including 179 in Wales.
Marston’s and The Royal British Legion have partnered to create brand new, poppy-themed glasses to raise vital funds for veterans during this year’s Poppy Appeal - and our list shows every North Wales pub where you'll find them.
From October 26, special pint and half-pint glasses will be available to purchase from 1,175 Marston’s pubs across the UK. Pint glasses will cost £2.50 and half pint glasses will cost £2 with 100% of the profits going to The Royal British Legion. Glasses will be available to purchase either empty or to drink from there and then before customers take them home.
The poppy glasses are just one part of Marston’s month to remember, with pubs running fundraising events including community breakfasts and live music. Traditional pin-on poppies will also be available to purchase to remember veterans past and present.
Each year, the Poppy Appeal is launched to raise funds for The Royal British Legion ahead of Remembrance Sunday, with donations being used by the Armed Forces charity to provide vital support to the community.
Last year saw a 35% increase in the number of households requesting assistance, as the Royal British Legion supported 27,000 people and awarded more than £18 million worth of grants to individuals in need.
Marston’s is dedicated to supporting the veteran community, and in February re-signed the Armed Forces Covenant, symbolising a continued commitment to supporting veterans and their families through employment opportunities. Several Marston’s pubs are run or staffed by veterans.
"Brits have been known to take glasses home with them from the pub, but this time we’re encouraging it," said Jared Sedgwick, Director of Operations at Marston's.
"We’re so proud to be working in partnership with The Royal British Legion to give our customers another way Latest & Find Usersto raise awareness and crucial funds for veterans, who are such a large part of the Marson’s community. Join us in saying cheers to our heroes."
Ben France, Head of Corporate Partnerships from The Royal British Legion, said "We're thrilled to partner with Marston’s to support the Poppy Appeal this year and beyond.
"The fundraising taking place across their network of pubs will help transform the lives of those in need across our Armed Forces community."
