This is a sleepy little village pub in the heart of Kent that we paint every
November with a Christmas themed mural that covers the whole building.
In January it is repainted with a plain colour and the next Christmas we
paint a new design.
Originally this was just to promote their Christmas dinners but it
turned the establishment into a real attraction. Word got round and the
Hawkenbury Inn became the talk of the town, making not only the local
papers but also the evening news on TV! The Hawkenbury had their busiest
Christmas for years and now it is a place that people come from miles
around to see!

Originally known as the "Hare
and Hounds" the pub changed name some time after WW2.
I have just added this pub to that list but
your help is definitely needed regarding it's history.
As the information is found or sent to me, including photographs, it will
be shown here.
Thanks for your co-operation.
I am informed that of August 2018 the pub was under sale for an asking
price of £895,000.
