Lewes’s Social Hub

The Volunteer isn't just a pub on Eastgate Street; it’s the heartbeat of the town. While we’re tucked into the historic streets of Lewes, we’re anything but a quiet museum piece. From the second you walk through the door, you’re stepping into a space where the atmosphere is loud, the energy is high, and there is always something happening.

Game On. Every Day.

We don’t just host events; we host the community. During the week, the competitive spirit is alive with our dedicated Pool, Darts and Toads teams, while the summer months see us out on the field with our Stoolball and Skittles squads. Whether you’re a pro or just here for the social, there’s a team waiting for you.

Your Weekend Starts Here

When Friday hits, the volume goes up. We’re the go-to spot for Lewes’s best nights out—think live music, floor-filling DJs, high-stakes Bingo, and legendary Karaoke nights. Whatever your drink of choice, we’re serving up the best vibes in East Sussex. If you’re looking for a seat to hide in the corner, you might be in the wrong place—but if you’re looking for a night to remember, you’ve found it.
