The Gather, Ennerdale

The Gather, Ennerdale is a café, shop and community centre situated in the Ennerdale valley in the English Lake District.
It is owned by Ennerdale Hub Limited, a co-operative of over 200 local people which was originally set up in 2011 to take over a village pub which was threatened with closure. The pub was saved, but is no longer owned by the co-op; instead, the society turned its attention to funding, designing and building a community centre to serve the village and surrounding area. The resulting facility, The Gather, opened in 2016 and, managed and run by a combination of paid staff and volunteers, has gone from strength to strength. Visitors are always welcome, and details of location and opening hours will be found on The Gather’s website.
