Could you run this pub?
Are you a community-minded operator with a passion for quirky pubs full of potential? The Blazing Rag in Buxton could be your perfect match.
Step into the Blazing Rag, a charming and traditional pub nestled in the heart of Buxton, Derbyshire. Renowned for its friendly, down-to-earth atmosphere, this pub delivers a classic British experience with pride, serving up a great range of real ales, draught beers, lagers, wines, and spirits.
We’re on the lookout for a sports-loving operator. Why? Because the Blazing Rag is a local hub for sports fans and teams alike. Trophies line the walls, celebrating the pub’s active role in community leagues and events. With five TV screens for live sports, plus a pool table, darts board, and tables for cards and dominoes, there’s plenty to keep guests entertained and engaged.
Inside, you’ll find a welcoming open-plan layout with a U-shaped bar that serves both the cosy lounge and the lively sports area. Original features like two open fireplaces add to the pub’s character and charm.
About the local area
Buxton is a picturesque spa town in the heart of the Peak District, surrounded by the UK’s oldest National Park. It’s famous for its Georgian and Victorian architecture, ornamental gardens, and vibrant cultural scene—including music, theatre, and festivals.
