Limited-edition England glasses launch in Bolton pubs

Marston’s has launched 50,000 commemorative glasses across its pubs nationwide, with several venues in Bolton and Greater Manchester taking part from June 11.

The glasses feature a St George’s flag-inspired design and come in a keepsake presentation box.

Neil Campbell, Chief Operating Officer at Marston’s, said: “The World Cup is one of those moments in the calendar that brings the whole country together, with pubs right at the heart of the action.

“We’re incredibly proud of the role our pubs play in bringing communities together to share these memorable moments, whether that’s celebrating a big victory or tensely watching another nail-biting penalty shoot-out.”

Participating venues in and around Bolton include the York on Newport Street, the Poacher in Blackrod and the Jolly Crofters in Horwich.

The Sparking Clog in Radcliffe, the Talbot in Atherton and the Bridge Tavern in Radcliffe will also stock the glasses while supplies last.

Fans can buy the commemorative glass for £5, or purchase one for £2 when buying a qualifying round of drinks.

The glasses will be available at more than 700 Marston’s pubs across the country.

Only 50,000 have been produced nationwide and they will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis while stocks last.

Mr Campbell added: “We wanted to create something special for England fans – a keepsake that captures those shared good times and gives our guests something to take home with them.”
