👀😂 IMITATION IS THE BEST FORM OF FLATTERY… RIGHT? 🍻

We’ve noticed a few of our social media posts and videos popping up elsewhere recently… 👀🤣

And do you know what? We’ll take that as a compliment! ❤️ It’s lovely to know we’re giving people ideas and keeping the local pub scene on its toes! 😉🍻

But here’s the thing… 👇

You can copy our posts. You can copy our videos. You can even borrow our ideas…

🔥 But you can’t copy our atmosphere.
🎤 You can’t copy our entertainment.
❤️ You can’t copy our team’s passion.
🍻 And you certainly can’t copy the feeling of walking into The Rising Sun and knowing you’re in for a brilliant night!

There’s only ONE Rising Sun, and we’ll keep doing what we do best: putting on the events, creating the atmosphere and making sure our customers have a bloody good time! ❤️

And speaking of which… 👀🎃

💀 THIS WEEKEND: HALLOWEEN SCREAMS & SOUNDS WEEKENDER! 🔊👻

🎤 FRIDAY: Spin to Win Karaoke from 7pm!
🎸 SATURDAY: Live music to keep the party going!

👻 Fancy dress BOTH nights!
💷 £50 BAR TAB EACH NIGHT for the best dressed!

So get your costumes ready, grab your mates and get yourselves down to The Rising Sun for a Halloween weekend you won’t want to miss! 🧛‍♂️🎃🍻

They might be able to copy the content… BUT THEY CAN’T COPY THE EXPERIENCE! ❤️🔥

📍 The Rising Sun — where the atmosphere speaks for itself! 🍻

🔥 WARMTH WITHOUT WORRY 🔥

❤️ PLEASE SHARE ❤️

It’s that time of year again… the nights are drawing in, the temperature is dropping and winter is definitely on its way.

And every year, we’re reminded that for some people, keeping warm at home can come with a worry about the cost.

So we wanted to say something simple:

The Rising Sun is a community pub, and everyone is welcome. ❤️

Our doors are open 7 days a week, and we want our pub to be more than just somewhere to come for a drink. We want it to be somewhere you can come in, get warm, sit comfortably, see a familiar face, have a chat and feel part of your community.

You don’t have to come in and spend a fortune. Come in for a drink, meet a friend, bring a book, have a chat or simply spend some time somewhere warm and welcoming.

And although we don’t serve food, you’re more than welcome to bring your own food or order something in. 🥪🍕

There’s no judgement here. No expectations. Just a warm, welcoming space and a friendly face.

If you’re on your own, come and say hello.
If you’re new to the area, come and meet us.
If you just fancy getting out of the house, our door is open.

We genuinely want The Rising Sun to be a community hub, not just a pub.

So please SHARE THIS POST with your friends, neighbours and anyone in our local community who might benefit from knowing there’s somewhere warm and welcoming they can come.

Let’s look after each other this winter. ❤️

Everyone is welcome at The Rising Sun.

Love from all of us at
☀️ The Rising Sun ❤️

🎄❤️ THE CHRISTMAS KINDNESS IS ALREADY AMAZING! ❤️🎄

Wow, guys! What an absolutely fantastic response to our Christmas Advent Calendar Appeal so far! 🥹🎅

We’ve already had 51 advent calendars donated and there’s also over £60 in our donation pot to help us buy even more! 🙌❤️

A massive THANK YOU to everyone who has donated so far. It’s brilliant to see our Rising Sun community getting behind something that will make such a difference to children who might otherwise have a very different Christmas.

But we’re not stopping there! 🎁🎄 Let’s really give this a push and see just how much we can collect together! Every calendar, every donation and every little bit of help will go towards spreading some extra Christmas magic.

❤️ THE DEADLINE IS 28TH NOVEMBER! ❤️

We’ll be delivering the calendars to children in hospital and other children’s homes around Bristol, helping to bring a little extra joy, excitement and Christmas cheer to children who deserve it just as much as anyone else. 🎅🎁

If you can donate an advent calendar, pop some money into the pot, or help spread the word, we’d be incredibly grateful.

Let’s show what our community can do when we all pull together! ❤️

51 calendars down… how many more can we collect? 👀🎄

Thank you all so much for the support so far. Let’s make this something really special! ❤️

🎅❤️

£500,000 raised and we’re only halfway there! ❤️

Our pubs have now raised an incredible £500k for our Make It A Million campaign and every penny tells a story.

Behind that number are teams giving their time, guests showing their generosity, communities coming together and moments that remind us what our pubs are all about.

We can only share a few of the many amazing stories and photos from our sites, but this milestone belongs to every single person who has helped make it happen. To our teams, guests and communities, thank you. Let’s keep going and Make It A Million! 🙌
