The STAR WARS and HARRY POTTER star will be formally inducted into his new role at Britain’s Biggest Pub Tour’s finishing party on 26th September at the Slug and Lettuce at Tower Bridge, London. The Stone gate Pub Company is fundraising for Variety through a group-wide event, ’Britain’s Biggest Pub Tour’, which has been running from 18th May throughout the summer. The tour aims to raise funds through a variety of events at Stone gate establishments and has raised more than £100,000 to date.
Armed with a giant ‘Pledge Passport’, the tour started at Yates in Hastings and teams from each pub on the 5,555 mile route delivered the passport from pub to pub, using quirky and ingenious modes of transportation. From roller-skating to zip-wiring, barrel-rolling to helicopter riding, the challenge has been to complete the tour in just 124 days, culminating in an exceptional party on 26th September.
