Harlaxton College to Lease Space in Historic Gregory Arms Pub
GRANTHAM, U.K. (12/02/2024) — The University of Evansville (UE) is pleased to announce that Harlaxton College has officially taken on tenancy at the historic Gregory Arms Pub. This exciting venture further integrates Harlaxton within the local community and creates new opportunities for engagement, education, and cultural exchange.
Located near Harlaxton Manor, the 19th-century Gregory Arms Pub has long been a beloved gathering spot for students, faculty, locals, and visitors alike. Now managed by Harlaxton Manor Enterprises, "The Greg" will offer five guest rooms along with its pub services, with all proceeds supporting student experiences at Harlaxton College.
Plans include utilizing the pub as a resource for internships, summer programs, and classes, offering students the chance to explore the cultural and historical significance of British pubs. Additionally, efforts are underway to preserve its welcoming atmosphere while introducing student-led events, educational workshops, and collaborative projects with various partners. By acquiring this iconic establishment, Harlaxton aims to honor its history while creating a dynamic space for academic, social, and community activities.
"The Gregory Arms Pub embodies the spirit of Harlaxton's unique educational experiences," said Holly Carter, PhD, Dean and Executive Director of Harlaxton College. "It represents a blend of local tradition and student life. We're excited to preserve its character while creating new memories for generations to come."
The purchase aligns with Harlaxton College's mission to provide transformative learning experiences and reflects UE's commitment to fostering meaningful relationships and enhancing the Harlaxton experience for students and the surrounding local community.
